About

My name is Dimitrios (but most people call me Dimitris) Ntounis [/di-MEE-tris DOO-nis/] and I come from Athens, Greece. I am currently a PhD Candidate in the Physics Department at Stanford University. I spend a lot of time at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory working with the SLAC ATLAS group. I’m also pursuing a PhD Minor in Computer Science at Stanford.

My research interests broadly revolve around the field of Particle Physics, which concerns itself with the study of the Universe at its most fundamental level, i.e. the elementary particles of the Cosmos. I mostly analyze data from the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, focusing on studies of the Higgs boson, the most recently discovered elementary particle. I’m also involved in feasibility studies for the next generation of high energy colliders, such as the Cool Copper Collider (C³). You can find a few key points about me below or read my Projects page or CV for more details.
