Post-Doctoral Researchers

  • Dr. Mohammad Abrar Wadud wadud@uic.edu SES 2259

    Dr. Mohammed Wadud is a postdoctoral research assistant working with the experimental high energy group at UIC. He received her PhD in Physics from the University of Minnesota in 2023. As a member of the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC, Mohammed works to precisely measure properties of the Higgs boson. He also tests readout electronics and silicon semiconductor sensors for the upcoming upgrade of the CMS silicon pixel tracker.

  • Dr. Titas Roy titasroy@uic.edu SES 2259

    Dr. Titas Roy is a postdoctoral research associate in the experimental high energy group at UIC. She received her doctorate degree from Florida Institute of Technology, working on precision measurements of top quark pair events in association with a photon, in 2018. She also worked extensively on the electronics upgrade of the hadronic calorimeter in the CMS detector. Dr. Roy is currently searching for a heavy Z prime boson which decays into a top quark pair along with studying and testing electronic readout modules of the silicon pixel tracker for the upgrade of the CMS detector.

  • Dr. Marguerite B. Tonjes Research Specialist tonjes@uic.edu

    Dr. Marguerite B. Tonjes is a Research Specialist at the University of Illinois – Chicago. She is based at Fermilab and provides computing support to members of the CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) experiment. Marguerite’s work involves computing education of high energy physicists, solving problems, and working with Fermilab computing to advance the computing resources for the U.S. members of the CMS collaboration. Marguerite received her PhD in Nuclear Physics from Michigan State University in 2002 working on studies of the fundamentals of high energy nuclear particle collisions. She was a research associate and research scientist at University of Maryland, working on the CMS experiment to study relativistic nuclear collisions. She has contributed to over 1,000 scientific publications
