Autorentext

Roman Kogler studied physics at the University of Technology in Vienna. He obtained his PhD in 2010 for research performed at the Max-Planck Institute Munich with the H1 experiment at the HERA collider. During his time as DESY post-doctoral fellow, he deepened his knowledge on jet physics and measurements of fundamental parameters. He joined the University of Hamburg in 2012, where he lectures on elementary particle physics, statistics and detector physics. As a member of the CMS Collaboration, his research focusses on the development of jet substructure techniques and their application in measurements and searches for new phenomena.
