My research:

I am currently studying decays of the Higgs boson into a pair of $b$ quarks using the CMS detector. I am also working on developing an analysis facility at UW-Madison to facilitate large-scale and interactive physics analyses.

My expertise is:

building data analysis tools in Python.

A problem I’m grappling with:

Integrating technologies like HTCondor, Dask, columnar analysis, and containerization in an accessible and user-friendly way.

I’ve got my eyes on:

optimizing my code with parallelization and vectorization.

I want to know more about:

how to make statistical analyses more computationally efficient and robust.
