About

I completed my Ph.D. in Physics in 2024, where I investigated fundamental particle interactions using large-scale experimental data. My research involved analyzing data sets of several terabytes in size to study complex physics reactions, complemented by extensive Monte Carlo simulations to model experimental inefficiencies. I developed strong expertise in data cleaning, statistical modeling, and extracting meaningful insights from noisy experimental data. The results of this work were published in the Phys. Rev. C journal, contributing to a deeper understanding of the underlying processes in particle physics.
