DESCRIPTION:Dr Stefano Zambito\, Harvard University\nAbstract: After the 
 discovery of the Higgs Boson\, the predictions of the Standard Model of pa
 rticle physics can be extrapolated without inconsistencies all the way up 
 to the Planck mass. Despite this tremendous success\, we still remain in t
 he dark about many open puzzles. Why is the weak interaction much stronger
  than gravity? What is the nature of Dark Matter? Are the strong\, weak an
 d electromagnetic forces a lower-energy manifestation of one single fundam
 ental interaction? A possible solution to these questions is provided by S
 upersymmetry. The key assumption behind many natural supersymmetric models
  is that the masses of the gluinos\, the top squarks and the higgsinos are
  near the TeV scale\, thus within the LHC reach. In this presentation\, I 
 will introduce some of the theoretical and phenomenological arguments that
  motivate the quest for Supersymmetry. I will then outline how I searched 
 for the above-mentioned particles using LHC Run-2 data collected by the AT
 LAS experiment. Finally\, I will focus on my vision of the future and my r
 esearch plans in high-energy experimental physics.
