About

Dr. Muhammad Gul holds a Ph.D. in Experimental High Energy Physics from Ghent University, Belgium. During his doctoral studies, he joined the CMS Collaboration at CERN (European Organisation for Nuclear Research, Geneva), where he focused on analysing CMS experiment data to search for particles beyond the Standard Model (BSM) using advanced machine learning techniques. He also developed a real-time operating system with SIEMENS software to manage particle detectors and streamline data acquisition and storage in an Oracle-based system. After completing his Ph.D., Dr. Gul pursued postdoctoral research at INFN, University of Bari, Italy, contributing to the development of Triple-GEM detectors for high-precision particle tracking. He later continued his research at the National Centre for Physics (NCP) as a hosted researcher, working on dark matter searches within BSM theoretical models, further leveraging CMS data and machine learning to identify potential dark matter signatures.

Research Interests

Dark Matter is currently one of the most intriguing questions of the fundamental physics to be searched in collider experiments to uncover its particle nature. BSM model (2HDM+a) is using in the MadGraph generator for the signal production, the mono-X channels, in a suitable parameter space. All relevant backgrounds are considered for calculating the sensitivity of the search.
