Summary
Alfredo Castaneda is an experienced physics professor and researcher with 13 years advancing particle physics and detector R&D, currently leading efforts in the High Energy Physics group at Universidad de Sonora as part of the CMS collaboration at CERN. He combines strong skills in mathematical modeling, Python and MATLAB with hands-on experience searching for beyond-the-Standard-Model signatures, particularly dark matter, and applying machine learning to high-energy physics problems. His background includes postdoctoral work at Texas A&M University at Qatar and PhD research at CERN/ATLAS, where he contributed to muon system upgrades and led a university research group. Based in Sonora, Mexico, he brings a rare mix of experimental detector development and data-analysis expertise that bridges hardware R&D and advanced computational techniques.
