Simon is a postdoctoral appointee exploring the limits of the Standard Model of Particle Physics through precision tests in high-intensity experiments which allow for probing of energy scales far beyond accelerator capabilities. More specifically, his research is focused on experiments with muons. He obtained his PhD from ETH Zurich in 2018 for his involvement in the Mu3e experiment. Simon is based at Argonne and works on the g-2 experiment at Fermilab.
