About

Mick Mulder is an FSE Fellow at the Van Swinderen Institute for Particle Physics and Gravity at the University of Groningen. He obtained his PhD from the University of Groningen. As a PhD student, he worked in the LHCb group at the National Institute for Subatomic Physics (Nikhef) in Amsterdam and at CERN in Geneva, mainly studying rare decays of hadrons containing beauty quarks, such as Bs to mu+ mu-, which provide precision tests of the Standard Model. He then became a Senior Research Fellow at CERN, where he took on leadership roles within the collaboration and made the most precise measurement of Bs meson production to date. In his current position at Groningen, together with his analysis team within the LHCb collaboration, he works on tests of lepton universality and searches for lepton flavour violation, specifically using Lambda_b baryons, which are baryons containing beauty quarks.
