Higgs Boson Decays into a Pair of Bottom Quarks

Cecilia Tosciri received her Master in Physics in 2016 from the University of Pisa (Italy). For her Master's thesis research, she was based at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Batavia, USA), working on a refined measurement of the top quark mass with the CDF experiment. She then obtained her PhD in Particle Physics from the University of Oxford in 2020. During the PhD, her research with the ATLAS experiment at CERN was focused on the measurement of the Higgs boson properties. As a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellow, she was also involved in an Innovative Training Network of the European Commission’s H2020 Program, focused on machine learning techniques for data analysis in particle physics. Her PhD thesis was recognised with the 2020 ATLAS Thesis Award. She is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Chicago (USA), and her research interests range from the commissioning of the new trigger system in ATLAS to the search for hints of New Physics.
