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.

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.^[1] Subsequently, Bose performed doctoral research at Columbia University, receiving her PhD in experimental particle physics in 2006.^[2] Her PhD dissertation, entitled "Search for B_s⁰ oscillations at DØ", describes the collection and analysis of data from the DZero experiment at Fermilab from 2002 to 2005.^[3] Bose completed post-doctoral training at Brown University.^[1]

Bose was an Assistant Professor (2008–2015) and then an Associate Professor (2015–2018) of Physics at Boston University,^[2] before becoming a professor of physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2018.^[1] She was Trigger Coordinator of the CMS experiment from 2014 to 2016,^[1] overseeing the triggering and data acquisition of proton-proton collision experiments at CERN.^[4] From 2017 to 2019, she was the CMS Physics Co-Coordinator,^[1] acting as one of the two scientists who organized reviews of 100 yearly research publications from the CMS experiment.^[5]

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^[1] and a member of the Fermilab LHC Physics Center Management Board.^[6]

Bose has been featured in several articles and interviews, including:

• BBC interview on the success of the Large Hadron Collider (2010)
• "CERN People", a film series that highlights people who work at CERN (2014). Of the series, Bose says, “This project was a good opportunity to document a particularly volatile time with not only the disappointing results in my own work, but also the excitement of the discovery of the Higgs Boson.” ^[10]
