Hi there! I am Ms. Brunella D'Anzi.
Welcome to my website!

I am a Ph.D. student in experimental High Energy Physics at Bari University and a member of the CMS Collaboration at CERN in Geneva. My research interests include the measurements of the Higgs boson self-couplings via double Higgs production events, the CMS tracking efficiency measurements, and the search for Standard Model anomalies in CMS data using Machine Learning techniques. I am also involved in the R&D of new gaseous detectors to be installed at FCC or CEPC.
