About
Research Scientist in AI & Physics @CERN
I am a Research Scientist with a PhD in Particle Physics and over a decade of experience leading innovative research at world-leading institutes and universities, including CERN and the University of Zürich. My work spans both Machine Learning and fundamental physics, with a current focus on advancing AI technologies. I have developed and applied cutting-edge techniques like Graph Neural Networks and Reinforcement Learning to solve complex real-world problems in high-energy physics. As a co-coordinator of the CERN Inter-experimental Machine Learning group and a steering board member of the European Coalition for AI in Fundamental Physics, I am recognized internationally as an accomplished expert in AI. My career has been dedicated to pioneering scientific research, mentoring emerging talent, and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration. I am now seeking opportunities in AI research or AI-driven development projects that enhance human capabilities and contribute to societal progress.
