Projects

Here are the three main tracks I’m working on right now. Each one is a blend of physics goals, ML methods, and practical software work to make pipelines reliable and reproducible.

Expand AI · End-to-End Simulation (FlowSim/CFM)

Exploring end-to-end approaches that connect generation → detector response → reconstruction, with the goal of validating baselines and identifying research directions (e.g., unfolding-style studies, physics-informed constraints, fast simulation ideas).

End-to-End Flow Matching / CFM Simulation Validation
(Replace the links once you decide which repo/writeup you want public.)
Goal
Understand + validate baseline behavior
Reproduce key plots, identify failure modes, propose extensions.
What I’m building
Clean experiments + documentation
So results are easy to rerun and explain.

Trigger Efficiency Modeling

Modeling trigger turn-on behavior with neural networks to improve efficiency estimates and systematic understanding. Focused on robust training, careful validation, and uncertainty-minded workflows.

CMS Triggers MLP / Residual MLP Uncertainties
Goal
Stable, physics-ready efficiency model
Generalizes well and tells a clear story in plots.
What I focus on
Overtraining prevention + robust eval
More events, better splits, sanity checks, uncertainty estimates.

ML4DQM · Detector Quality Monitoring

Using ML methods to help detect anomalies in DQM histograms and support operations. Working with matrix factorization / anomaly detection ideas and validating behavior on real monitoring outputs.

CMS DQM Anomaly Detection NMF 2D Histograms
Goal
Reliable anomaly signals
Useful, interpretable alerts that don’t spam.
What I’m building
Evaluation + visualization
So decisions are backed by clear evidence.
