### Research interests

My main research interest are strong interactions, in particular the understanding of bound state formation by studying quarkonium production. I work on measurements of quarkonium cross sections and polarizations using data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. In this context, I have also accumulated great expertise on single muon and dimuon efficiencies using dimuon triggers at low transverse momentum. Through my position as CMS B-physics production subgroup convener, I am also involved in the analyses of b hadron production and properties. Recently, I expanded my research to include phenomenological studies of quarkonium production at the LHC, placing the emphasis on the data instead of theoretical input.
