Welcome to my homepage. My name is
Ulrich Husemann.
I'm the Director of Particle Physics at Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) and currently on leave from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)
My research at KIT was focused on
Production of Higgs bosons and top quarks, and search for dark matter with the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC.
Silicon strip detector modules for the upgrade of the CMS tracking detectors for the High-Luminosity LHC.
Application of semiconductor tracking detectors for radiotherapy.
Here you find information on lectures, seminars, and lab courses I taught at KIT (and elsewhere).
Courses at KIT and elsewhere.
