Research Interests:

Prof. Conway joined the Davis faculty in 2004. He is an experimental high energy particle physicist, and is presently engaged in the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. His main interest is the search for new particles produced in high energy proton collisions, including the search for the Higgs boson and new heavy quarks, and other physics beyond the standard model. He is also helping construct the new inner tracking detector for the High Luminosity LHC, which will begin in 2029.

Prof. Conway is the principal investigator for the collider physics group at Davis, which comprises over 25 active researchers (faculty, senior researchers, postdocs, and graduate students), funded by the US Department of Energy.
