Dissertation Done!
January 5, 2025
What better first post for my blog than to share that my doctoral dissertation, Understanding the High Energy Higgs Sector with the CMS Experiment and Artificial Intelligence, was approved last month! In it, I write about my PhD work on searches for pairs of Higgs bosons produced at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) with the CMS experiment, and several new machine learning (ML), generative AI, and equivariant / geometric deep learning techniques for enabling such searches with fast simulation, improved classification, and anomaly detection algorithms.
