Full Professor, Head of the Experimental Particle Physics Dept (F9) at the JSI
Borut Paul Kerševan is active in developing new methods in particle physics data simulation and analysis. He participated in several new physics searches at the LHC at CERN, as well as developments of Monte Carlo tools and experimental techniques, which were also used in the Higgs boson discovery in 2012. He became involved in the field of Machine Learning in physics already during his doctorate, using neural networks for the reconstruction of W bosons. During his term as the ATLAS Computing Coordinator, coordinating all software and computing activities of the ATLAS collaboration, he has set up a working group to investigate the potential of using ML techniques and HPC facilities for the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. Lately he is focusing his interest in Machine Learning applications in various aspects of experimental particle physics, as well as getting involved in studying the potential of utilizing the quantum computers for the needs of the future collider experiments at CERN.
