Career
editHe is a member of the CMS Collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. One of his most notable achievements is his involvement in the discovery of a Higgs boson with a mass of 125 GeV. He was also listed among the world’s top 2 percent scientist list by the Alper Dodger Scientific Index 2023.[1][2] As of September 2024, he is the third most cited researcher of India with an h-index of 235 and more than 269,000 citations.[3] He did Bachelor of Science in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics in 1994 and Master of Science in Particle physics in 1996 from Utkal University, Bhubneswar, India. He then did Ph.D. in Experimental High Energy Physics from Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai in 2002.[4]
