Hello! I'm Zhoie, a first year masters' student in physics studying at the University of the Philippines Diliman. I joined the High Energy Physics and Phenomenology group at the National Institute of Physics during my third undergraduate year and have been conducting research in particle physics ever since.

Di-Higgs production provides direct sensitivity to the Higgs self-coupling parameter. My project focuses on the HH → bbgg channel, which has a relatively high branching ratio but is challenging due to the overwhelming QCD background in the H → gg decay. This analysis uses Monte Carlo simulations to study the separation between H → bb and H → gg jets using jet substructure variables, and to improve their discrimination against the background using track multiplicity cuts and BDT-based tagging..
