Project title: Improvement of b-tagging in the ATLAS experiment
Research Group: High Energy Physics
Supervisor(s): Dr. Tim Scanlon
Introduction:
I graduated with a BSc in Physics at UCL, after which I obtained an MSc in Scientific and Data Intensive Computing. During my bachelor's project, I applied machine learning to the classification of Higgs boson decays. In my master's project, I worked with the cybersecurity company NCC on the classification of malicious Windows binaries. As part of the CDT, I will be working with Tim Scanlon on the improvement of b-tagging in the ATLAS experiment. I am looking forward to further developing my computational skills and the opportunity to apply these skills to a wide range of problems.
