Lektor

I studied for my Ph.D. in Paris working on the BaBar experiment at Stanford 2001-2004. Since, I have have been working mainly on the ATLAS experiment, where I have contributed to electron identification in particular with the Transition Radiation Tracker (TRT), worked on both the W mass measurement, searchers for stable massive particles, the Higgs discovery, and the search for additional Higgs particles and decays. I have been know for my application of Machine Learning (ML) to the ATLAS data analysis.

Lately, I have also been involved in the IceCube experiment on using Graph Neural Networks for event classification and reconstruction.

Generally, I am a ML enthusiast and avid user, having applied ML to many cases in particle physics and beyond. I teach two large and relatively acclaimed courses on applied statistics and ML, respectively.

In my (sparse) spare time, I love traveling to far off exotic places, sailing, and playing football, squash, tennis, and strategy games.
