PostDoc Fellow

The Chinese University of Hong Kong•  June 2015 - September 2019

Developing algorithms (mostly C++ based with running interface in Python) for physics and statistical analysis, in the context of the search for neutral heavy particles and the Higgs boson fiducial and differential cross section measurements within the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Doing data simulation and modeling using Monte Carlo generators (extensive usage of Python). Providing user support for Monte Carlo simulation making use of the Jira software. Managing time and people (priority setting, weekly meetings organization) and supervising students. Technical and editorial participation in writing papers for prestigious scientific journals.

Junior Scientist

Radboud University Nijmegen•  April 2014 - January 2015

Research projects aimed to measure the Higgs boson properties and study the detector performance of the ATLAS experiment. Main activities: numerical and statistical analysis of the data collected by the ATLAS experiment within the ATLAS Higgs group, high-level software development, maintenance of core, analysis and statistical packages, usually written in C++ and interfaced with python. Tasks: design and maintenance of analysis and statistical software packages, write cross-platform software (Linux/Unix and MacOS), optimize memory usage and improve time consuming, and write the corresponding documentation, improve multivariate algorithms previously developed, data simulation and modeling making use of Monte Carlo generators.

PhD Candidate

Radboud University•  February 2011 - April 2014

esearch projects aimed to discover the Higgs boson and measure its properties. All activities carried out pointed to achieve this 60-years-awaited milestone. Main activities: numerical and statistical analysis of the data, high-level software development, maintenance of core, analysis and statistical packages, usually written in C++ and interfaced with python, study of the performance of the muon tracking system of the ATLAS experiment, investigation of the usage of new multi-core solutions for physics analyses. In addition: participation at doctoral schools, speaker at national and international conferences, academic activities. Main Tasks: design and maintenance an analysis packages focused on signal detection, development statistical analyses making use of multivariate techniques, data simulation and modeling making use of Monte Carlo generators, teaching Assistant in physics laboratories and C++ programming courses at the Radboud University
