My research:

The CMS Experiment at CERN, as well as the R&D to prepare the software and computing systems required to operate and produce scientific results from the HL-LHC and other HEP experiments in the 2020s.

My expertise is:

High Energy Physics (HEP) software and computing, large software/computing projects

A problem I’m grappling with:

Recognizing echo chamber effects in our thinking and organizations, and finding ways to create more dynamic and sustainable research software collaborations to address our challenges.

I’ve got my eyes on:

HEP software challenges in the 2020s…

I want to know more about:

Places where HEP problems overlap with the larger research community; ideas and prior experience which show how we might collaborate on those problems.
