DESCRIPTION:Dr Louise Skinnari\, Cornell University\nAbstract: The initi
 al years of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have been a great success\, mo
 st notably with the discovery of the Higgs boson. Despite the continued tr
 iumph of the Standard Model\, critical questions remain unanswered about n
 ature on the smallest scales\, such as dark matter and the matter-antimatt
 er asymmetry in the universe. As the most massive of all known elementary 
 particles\, the top quark plays a central role in many proposed extensions
  to the Standard Model that address some of these questions. In this talk\
 , I will discuss the motivation and status of top quark physics at the LHC
 \, presenting recent results from the CMS experiment. Additionally\, I wil
 l give an outlook on the future upgrade of the LHC to higher luminosities\
 , and the resulting physics potential and experimental challenges.
