About Nausheen
Shah is an Asst. Prof. of Physics at Wayne State U. (WSU) working on fundamental particle physics. She began her studies at U. of Chicago hypothesizing the existence of extra dimensions. As a Postdoctoral Fellow at Fermilab and at U. of Michigan, she was involved in proposing phenomena observable at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN if there exists a fundamental symmetry in nature called Supersymmetry, concentrating on connections between Higgs physics and Dark Matter. She has continued pursuing these ideas since joining the faculty at WSU.
Shah is currently a topical convener for an LHC Working Group at CERN and the 2021 Snowmass particle physics community planning exercise. She previously chaired the local organizing committee for APS CUWiP held at WSU in 2017, and has served as a convener for several large international conferences such as SUSY, ICHEP and LHCP. Shah is also an active member of the Particles for Justice collective.
