Summary
Seth Zenz is a Reader in Experimental Particle Physics at Queen Mary University of London with over a decade of experience designing and building detector hardware and leading Higgs boson measurements at the LHC. He combines hands-on detector development with analysis leadership—having convened the CMS Higgs to Diphoton group and driven diphoton and VBF analyses—to bridge instrumentation and final statistical results. His career spans major roles at Imperial, Princeton and Berkeley with a PhD from UC Berkeley, giving him deep expertise in detector simulation, calibration and jet/photons performance for HL-LHC upgrades. Beyond research, he teaches digital technology degree apprenticeships, and has a longstanding commitment to mentorship and education, including coordinating precollege math programs in correctional settings.
