Biographical Sketch:
Elise works with Paul Tipton and Sarah Demers on the ATLAS Experiment at CERN. Her research focuses on testing the Standard Model of particle physics, particularly the Higgs boson and how it interacts with tau leptons. She is also involved in the next upgrade of the ATLAS detector for the High-Luminosity LHC phase. Prior to coming to Yale, she earned her Ph.D. at Duke University working with Mark Kruse on the ATLAS Experiment.
Education:
Ph.D., Duke University, 2024
KT 425
PIs: Sarah Demers and Paul Tipton
Research Areas: Elementary Particles
Research Type: Experimentalist
Science Goal: Precision tests of the standard model and new physics searches; including characterizing the Higgs Boson and using it to probe for new physics.
WL Involvement: The Yale team has critical responsibilities in the ATLAS collaboration for data quality and detector upgrades. Wright Lab has been the host of R&D and now construction of critical elements of the ATLAS tracker upgrade for the hI-LHC era.
A team of Yale postdoctoral associates and graduate students, including 4 members of Yale’s Wright Lab, coordinated the 2026 Pint of Science Festival.
The group visited Wright Lab while they were in New Haven, as well as the Hixon Center for Urban Sustainability and the Yale Center for British Art.
The Executive Committee is comprised of twelve members serving two-year terms, with six people elected each year.
