Experience

  1. Reasearcher for the CMS Experiment at LHC CERN

    November 2022 — Present

    During my role as a Researcher and Data Analyst at the Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation (HFRI), my team focused on enhancing particle physics research at CERN's CMS experiment. My contribution to this search was the development and application of Machine Learning algorithms, mainly Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLPs), to optimize jet pairing for dijet resonance searches. Additionally, my work delved into the significance of signal versus background and fine-tuned selection criteria post-pairing, thereby enhancing the precision of the experiment.
