Hello! I'm Giorgio Cortiana

Portfolio

I am a research scientist at the Max-Planck-Institute for Physics in Munich, and I am working within the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). My main research focus is on top-quark physics. In addtion, I carry out combinations of the measurements of the top-quark properties from various High Energy Physics experiments (ATLAS, CMS, CDF, and D0) within the TOP-LHC working group .
