Ambizione grant for Max Zoller

Max Zoller, currently at the Physik-Institut of the University of Zurich (UZH), has been awarded a Swiss National Science Foundation Ambizione grant with PSI as host institution. Together with a PhD student he will join the particle theory group (NUM, Laboratory of Particle Physics (LTP)). The research of Max Zoller focuses on the automation of perturbative higher-order calculations. Such calculations are required for precise predictions of signal and background processes at particle colliders which in turn are indispensable in the search for physics beyond the Standard Model. Max Zoller obtained his PhD from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in 2014. After a year as postdoc at KIT he joined the UZH in 2015 for a postdoctoral position. With the Ambizione grant he will now move to the PSI for four years, starting on June 1, 2019.
