“My fascination with particle physics began at CERN in 2017, when I had the incredible opportunity to see the CMS experiment up close. Standing in the cavern, I was amazed by the complexity of the project. That moment became the catalyst for my lifelong dedication to particle physics. I remember vividly deciding to pursue this Read more

When particles collide at near-light speeds inside detectors like those at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), they leave behind traces—tiny points of Read more

Imagine you’re on a quest to find the minimum of something, but you’re like a fish in a labyrinth. All you know is that somewhere out there lies a minimum hiding away. You’re blind to whether the function is friendly enough to be differentiable (No Gradient Descent, my old friend), and oblivious to potential divergences. Read more
