Searching for Strongly Coupled Dark Sectors with Unsupervised and Generative Learning
K. Pedro · 2024
Recipient of the URA Early Career Award for groundbreaking searches for dark matter arising from strongly coupled dark sectors with the CMS detector, pioneering work in ML-based model-independent anomaly detection for collider and astrophysics experiments, and leadership in the development of new AI/ML techniques to improve event reconstruction and detector simulation in particle physics, as well as novel strategies to accelerate AI inference and throughput with heterogeneous computing using coprocessors as a service.
