Kudos to Dr. Banerjee!

Dr. Swagato Banerjee, a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, has received the 2015-2016 U.S. ATLAS Scholar Award (see, https://po.usatlas.bnl.gov/programoffice/scholars_2015.php).

Dr. Banerjee will work at the Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory, which is a partnering US institution for the ATLAS program of CERN- the European Organization for Nuclear Research. ATLAS, is one of four detectors of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) facility at CERN. Dr. Banerjee will pursue searches for dark matter using mono-Higgs signatures, and on the design of the Phase 2 upgrade of the silicon pixel detector, including the impact of extending the coverage to the forward region.
