Luiz Henrique Vale Silva

I became a member of CEU in September 2024, and previously conducted my research at the U. Valencia (2019-2024), the U. Sussex (2017-2019) and the Inst. Jozef Stefan (2016-2017), after completing my Ph.D. at the U. Paris-Sud/U. Paris-Saclay (2013-2016). Before that, I was enrolled in the high-energy physics master's and engineering programs at Ecole polytechnique in Lozere (2010-2013), and completed a bachelor's degree in physics at the U. Sao Paulo (2006-2009). I have been awarded a Marie Sklodowska-Curie individual fellowship to conduct my research, as well as an Eiffel excellence grant for my studies, among other grants.

In my research, I am primarily interested in tests of the Standard Model of particle physics, in particular in processes that violate Charge-Parity symmetry in the quark sector. These studies require the determination of both perturbative and non-perturbative theoretical inputs to properly account for Quantum Chromodynamics effects. In this context, I perform combined extractions of fundamental parameters of the Standard Model as a member of the CKMfitter collaboration (http://ckmfitter.in2p3.fr/). I am also interested in extensions of the Standard Model, such as analyses of effective operators based on Standard Model symmetries and particle content. In addition, I have worked on model building and have a strong interest in future collider experiments and emerging computing technologies.

I have presented my work at numerous prestigious international conferences and workshops in my field, including CKM25, EPS-HEP25, FPCP 2025, Moriond EW 24, CKM23, EPS-HEP23, ICHEP22, CKM21, EPS-HEP21, ICHEP20, FPCP 2020, EPS-HEP19, and CKM18. I am the author or co-author of 16 publications in leading journals in my field, which have collectively received about 700 citations, in addition to published reports and conference proceedings. I have co-supervised one Ph.D. student and am currently co-supervising two other candidates, in addition to supervising the work of further Ph.D. students non-officially; I have also directed one master's student.

At CEU, I am currently in charge of "seminarios" y "talleres" of mathematics and statistics, and physics. I have participated in "seminarios" at the U. Sussex, and "talleres" at the U. Paris-Sud/U. Paris-Saclay.
