Searching for New Physics in b → sℓ+ℓ− Transitions at the LHCb Experiment

Luca Pescatore's main interest is fundamental physics including both particle physics and astrophysics but also technology: programming, data analysis, machine learning and electronics. He obtained his master's degree at the University of Bologna, Italy, looking for Quark Gluon plasma signature with the CMS experiment. He then joined the LHCb experiment and continued his studies at the University of Birmingham, UK. He was the main author for two papers on rare decays of b hadrons, where new physics can contribute at the level of quantum corrections. Currently he is a researcher at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Switzerland.
