Emmy Noether junior research group
"Precision Monte Carlo event generators and LHC measurements"
More information about our activities
can be found in this poster (in German).
Our group is working at the interface between experiment and theory for LHC physics and will have a particular focus on QCD Monte Carlo simulations and ATLAS measurements sensitive to their modelling aspects. If you are interested in joining the group as postdoctoral researcher, PhD- or master student, do not hesitate to contact me!
