Rate My Professor Christine McLean

McLean's research is centered in high energy experimental physics within the High Energy Physics and Cosmology group. Her specialties encompass the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider and precision Higgs physics employing state-of-the-art tracking detectors. Her investigations include measurements of proton-proton collisions producing W and Z bosons in association with Higgs bosons. She has participated in CMS collaboration activities, such as developments for the High Luminosity LHC upgrade and the CMS Outer Tracker. McLean received the LPC Distinguished Researcher Award in 2022. She delivered the seminar 'Precision Higgs Physics with State-of-the-Art Tracking Detectors' at the University at Buffalo Department of Physics in April 2024. Her publications, accessible via INSPIRE-HEP, include contributions to works such as 'Jets and Jet Substructure at Future Colliders' (Frontiers in Physics, 2022), 'Jet Substructure at the Large Hadron Collider' (Reviews of Modern Physics, 2019), 'Explainable AI for ML Jet Taggers Using Expert Variables and Location-Aware Graph Attention Networks' (Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021), and 'Searches for High-Mass tt Resonances at CMS' (conference article). McLean is also a member of the US Muon Collider Collaboration.
