Biography

Josu Cantero obtained his degree in Physics from the Universidad del País Vasco (2006) and his PhD from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (2013). He is currently a Ramón y Cajal research fellow, affiliated with the Department of Atomic, Molecular and Nuclear Physics (FAMN) of the Faculty of Physics. He has been a member of the ATLAS Collaboration since 2007, carrying out his research in the field of experimental high-energy physics.

Within this field, he conducts his research activity in the ATLAS Collaboration at CERN, participating in precision measurements of the Standard Model (SM) and in searches for new physics beyond the SM. His research experience focuses particularly on QCD and electroweak physics, using final states with photons and jets. He contributed to the discovery of the Higgs boson in the diphoton decay channel. Within the ATLAS Collaboration, he has held scientific coordination responsibilities, leading the Standard Model Jets and Photons group and the Jet Tagging group, and currently serving as convener of the Jet In Situ Calibration group.
