Highlights from SUSY Searches with ATLAS

Supersymmetry (SUSY) is one of the most relevant scenarios of new physics searched for by the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. In this talk the principal search strategies employed by ATLAS will be outlined and the most recent results for analyses targeting SUSY discovery will be presented. A wide range of signatures are covered motivated by various theoretical scenarios and topologies: strong production, third-generation fermions, long-lived particles and R-parity violation among others. The results are based on up to 5 fb-1 of data recorded in 2011 at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV centre-of-mass energy by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC.
