Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Hart is a postdoctoral research associate at Rutgers with 12 years of experience in experimental particle physics, focused on searches for beyond-the-standard-model signatures at the CMS experiment, particularly long-lived particles and unconventional detector signals. He combines hands-on analysis of LHC data with hardware and firmware work from muon system upgrades to maintaining computing infrastructure, reflecting a blend of experimental, software, and systems skills. An active contributor to the CMS offline software (cmssw), he has implemented features and fixes in the L1 trigger track-finding modules, including firmware design support and displaced tracking updates. Trained with a PhD from Ohio State and dual degrees in physics and mathematics, he brings deep domain expertise and practical engineering to complex, collaboration-scale projects.
