Tulika Bose

Tulika Bose is a professor of physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, whose research focuses on developing triggers for experimental searches of new phenomena in high energy physics. Bose is a leader within the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment, a CERN collaboration famous for its experimental observation of the Higgs boson in 2012.

Early life and education

Bose completed a B.Sc. in physics at the University of Delhi in India in 1996 and a B.A. in the Natural Sciences Tripos at the University of Cambridge in 1998. Bose completed post-doctoral training at Brown University. before becoming a professor of physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2018. She was Trigger Coordinator of the CMS experiment from 2014 to 2016, From 2017 to 2019, she was the CMS Physics Co-Coordinator,

Bose has served on several international and national committees, including as an elected member of the APS Division of Particles and Field (DPF) executive committee
