RESEARCHES ABOUT BIGDATA

Since July 2009 for the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) Experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)

at the EuropeanOrganization for Nuclear Research (CERN) Applied The BigDataMethods in Searching for An Elementary Particle 2009 to 2014, as Ph.D. thesis topic

I hunted for an elementary particle from the large amount of LHC data using Bayes' statistic, likelihoodmethods and numerical simulations, programmedwith C++ and Python. I successfully set new limits of the production of that elementary particle.

UsedMultivariate AnalysisMethods to Improve the Precision of TheHiggs Measurements 2011 to 2014

I investigatedmachine learningmethods, e.g. boosted decision tree, to improve the precision of the Higgs measurements.

DevelopedMethods to Improve The Performance of APhysics Object Identification 2011 to 2013

Working with colleagues, I updated a software package to yield a better and faster measurement of a physics object (b-qark jets).

Developed ADetector Visualization Software 2009 to 2014 I have beenmaintaining a visualization software (iSpy) with C++ and Bash. Worked in A Subdetector (Cathode Strip Chambers) Group 2010 to 2014 I led developing a package in C++ and Python tomeasure the detector efficiency. I also participated in the daily operation service for the group. CONFERENCE&PRESENTATIONS
