Personal profile

Biography

Ludovic studied physics in his undergrad at ETH Zurich. He moved to Munich in 2016 and worked on his thesis under the supervision of Prof Gudrun Heinrich and PD Dr Stefan Kluth in a joint position between the LHC ATLAS experiment, and the theory phenomenology group at the Max-Planck Institute for Physics. After reception of his PhD in 2019, Ludovic switched to theory full-time and joined the group of Prof Gavin Salam at the University of Oxford, where he worked on the PanScales parton shower project until 2023. He is now a member of the School of Physics and Astronomy at Monash University where he is funded by an ARC DECRA grant, and he continues to work on parton showers, and more generally on developing techniques for phenomenology at high-energy particle colliders.
