Welcome!¶
I am an experimental particle physicist, specializing in machine learning applications and data analysis of proton-proton collision data of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
Currently, my research is targeted at (Run 3) data analysis with the ATLAS experiment (top quark physics (cross section, charge / energy asymmetry) and exotics (ALPs+tops with calorimeter jets)) and R&D of the High Granularity Timing Detector (HGTD) for HL-LHC / Run 4 with a special interest in database development and design / testing of Flex Tails (flexible PCBs).
I enjoy building highly performant and reliable analysis software with comprehensive documentation, as well as user interfaces that my collaborators enjoy. Further, I am a strong advocate of consistency, automation and optimization.

2026
Abstract
Results from pre-production of HGTD parts and their implementation in the Production Database along with the novel user interfaces, especially in "hgtd-tools", are presented.
Contribution: Prepared the software to upload and analyse production data for module assembly, module loading and detector assembly. Calculated / optimized the flex tail categories, setup the monitoring dashboard, reporting, gitlab CI pipeline, invented the algorithms for hybrid clustering and developed the python API client including CLI and GUI.

Abstract
TopCPToolkit is an ntuple production framework for analysing data from LHC Run 2 and Run 3. It is built around common CP and analysis algorithms in release 25 of the central athena software framework of the ATLAS Collaboration.
Contribution: Development and maintenance of software, user support, tutorials as part of top reconstruction convener role, including core team coordination.
Further Navigation / Overview¶
On my website you can find some personal information, organized into different areas like education and qualifications, or experience (teaching / work).
There is also a page summarizing my publications, awards, and I also list talks, theses and more with additional material.
If you are interested in my other activities (mostly related to solving twisty puzzles fast, =speedcubing), you will also find specialized links that point you to my contributions in that field.
