Congratulations to Matthew Feickert on his successful PhD defense!

by Stephen Sekula|Published July 25, 2019

Congratulations to Matthew Feickert on his successful PhD defense! — I am so proud of Matthew, who successfully defended his PhD thesis on the study of the Higgs, at high momentum, using the bottom-quark final state of its decay. Matthew will now move forward in the field into a post-doctoral position at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
