Research Fellow

I am a Research Fellow at CMS, who equally likes experimental particle physics and high-performance computing. The intersection of these two fields are High-Level Triggers, which I love.

During my PhD, I designed, built and commissioned the High-Level Trigger of the KOTO experiment, a small Kaon experiment at J-PARC, Japan.

During my Master I worked on the ATLAS pixel detector upgrade for the HL-LHC, and my bachelor’s thesis was on studying the production of W and Z bosons at CMS.

Now I work with the NGT task 3.2, on making the CMS Software a distributed application that runs efficiently on a computing farm with heterogeneous hardware. We leverage high-speed network interconnects to offload part of the physics data processing to remote machines, so that each machine performs the tasks it is most efficient at. This flexibility is essential, as both the available hardware and the CMS software continue to evolve.

Fields of interest:

• High-energy physics
• Data acquisition and trigger systems
• High-performance computing
• High-speed networking
