Radja Boughezal
Adjunct Associate Professor/Joint with Argonne National Laboratory
Radja Boughezal’s research focuses on the ultra-precise understanding of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the theory of the strong force. She applies her QCD investigations to model the high-energy interactions occurring at experiments such as the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, Switzerland. A precision understanding of LHC phenomena may reveal subtle deviations between data and the Standard Model of particle physics that suggest answers to open questions about the universe such as the nature of dark matter and the abundance of matter over anti-matter. Radja’s work bridges an analytic understanding of fundamental theory with large numerical simulations on supercomputers.
