University of Cambridge – U.K.

CI am currently working on physics analysis in the Atlas experimental collaboration. My studies include data driven background estimation techniques for use in searches for new physics such as supersymmetry, and separately a measurement of the top quark mass in the dileptonic decay channel of top pair events. I am familiar with working in the Linux environment both the Scientific Linux CERN distributions as well as Redhat Fedora distributions. I am comfortably familiar with the C++ programming language, and I am also quite familiar with the python scripting language. I use the bash shell environment for scripting as well.
