Hi, my name is Aaron White.

I studied for my BSc and PhD at the University of Michigan, where my thesis was on two searches. First, the search for the Higgs boson coupling to pairs of muons. Second, a search in the high-mass dilepton (electron and muon) spectra for new physics. Since then, I have been interested in studying interesting questions about the universe using the tools of High Energy Experimental Physics.

During my postdoctoral research at Harvard University, I worked on the construction and commissioning of the New Small Wheels for the ATLAS Experiment. My focus was on developing configuration software, calibration routines, and uncovering problems during data taking. I also worked on dark matter searches, and was the inaugural convener of the CCS subgroup.

During my Research Fellowship at CERN, I moved to the LHCb Experiment because I believe I can use it to discover the boundstate of two muons, called Dimuonium. I am currently working on this analysis.

I also joined the FASER Collaboration to work on off-axis neutrino measurements. These are related to the subtle Muon Puzzle observed in ultra-high-energy cosmic rays. I am project leader of the AHCAL calorimeter that successfully took data in 2026, and I am developing a followup measurement in Run 4 using donated detector equipment.
