Postdocs

 

VALERIO BERTONE Valerio Bertone is a post-doc at the Vrije Universiteit of Amsterdam and member of the Theory group of Nikhef. His main research interests include quantum chromodynamics and LHC phenomenology, with particular emphasis on parton distribution and fragmentation functions.

 

NATHAN HARTLAND Nathan Hartland is a Postdoctoral Research Assistant at NIKHEF and the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. His research interests lie in parton distributions, collider phenomenology, machine learning and optimisation.

 

ZAHARI KASSABOV Zahari Kassabov is a Research Associate in the High Energy Physics group at the Cavendish Laboratory, home of the Department of Physics of the University of Cambridge. He is interested in the application of advanced computational and statistical methods to open problems in the Phenomenology of High Energy Physics. His current research seeks to put into action novel methods for the precise determination of PDFs and computation of amplitudes. He has an interest in the application of Machine Learning techniques in Physics, as well as in the development of software systems that ensure the practicality and reproducibility of scientific computing.

 

EMANUELE R. NOCERA Emanuele R. Nocera is Postdoctoral Research Associate in Theoretical Particle Physics at the School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Edinburgh. He is interested in parton distribution functions, with emphasis on the longitudinal spin of the proton, fragmentation functions and non-perturbative models of nucleon structure.
