Bio:
Dave Sutherland is a theoretical physicist. After completing his PhD in 2016 at the Cavendish laboratory in Cambridge, he worked as a postdoc in UC Santa Barbara, and a Marie Skłodowska-Curie COFUND fellow at INFN Trieste, before moving to Glasgow as a lecturer in 2022. He has worked on various aspects of model building, effective field theory, amplitudes, and their applications to phenomenology.

Abstract:
In particle physics, we have lots of data, but we are unsure exactly what to look for within it. I will show how simple principles from field and scattering theory can help guide this search, maximize our chance of a fundamental discovery, and guarantee that we understand the nature of electroweak symmetry breaking in the coming decades.
