My interest in machine learning and data intensive science stems from a summer research placement.

Project title: The Search for Dark Matter with the world-leading LZ Experiment

Research Group: High Energy Physics

Supervisor(s): Prof Chamkaur Ghag

Introduction: 

I obtained an MSci in Physics with Theoretical Physics from Imperial College London, where I completed my master’s project within the string theory group. My interest in machine learning and data-intensive science began during a summer research placement at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics, where I investigated the use of ML techniques for gravitational wave detection.

Project description:  

I work on the LZ direct dark matter detector, utilising computational techniques to explore and understand the vast dataset collected by the detector.

First year group project: The Guardian
