Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnanya Paul is a PhD student and graduate researcher at UC Riverside specializing in spin physics, focused on resolving the proton spin puzzle through transverse spin asymmetry measurements of pions using RHIC’s STAR detector. She brings a decade of hands-on experience in experimental high-energy physics, combining C++, Python, ROOT, Bash, and CronTab to collect, clean, and analyze large detector datasets. Beyond analysis, she contributed to the hardware assembly and ongoing monitoring of STAR’s Forward Calorimeter System and simulates future EIC (ATHENA) data using AI/ML methods. Her work bridges detector operations and computational modeling, giving her a practical appreciation for both instrumentation and algorithmic approaches. Ananya also has experience in science outreach and teaching, from NASA GLOBE educator programs to undergraduate labs, reflecting strong communication skills alongside technical depth. She is actively seeking connections in machine learning and data analytics to translate physics-grade data workflows into real-world problem solving.
