DirectorKārlis Dreimanis, PhD
Doctor of Philosophy in high-energy physics, Team Leader for the CMS Latvia Group at CERN. Obtained the doctoral degree from the University of Liverpool in 2017 for work on a soft QCD analysis at the LHCb experiment at CERN. Current physics activities include work in the Top quark and Higgs physics analysis groups at the CMS experiment, as well as work on the MTD sub-detector project for the CMS upgrade. Research interests mainly include precision physics at the LHC.
