Future collider facilities will address some of the most compelling questions in particle and nuclear physics, from precision studies of the Higgs boson and searches for physics beyond the Standard Model to unraveling the structure of nucleons and nuclei. Achieving these goals requires detector systems capable of operating in vastly different environments, including the extreme pileup conditions of next-generation hadron colliders, the intense beam-induced backgrounds of multi-TeV lepton colliders, and the precision-focused environment of the Electron-Ion Collider. In this seminar, I will discuss how advances in silicon detector technologies, particularly for high-granularity tracking and picosecond-level timing, address these challenges and expand the physics reach of the future experiments. These developments, combined with detailed simulation frameworks, theoretical benchmarks, and accelerator design studies, enable co-optimization for the future collider landscape.
