Summary
Andrii Usachov is a particle-physics researcher and software-focused experimentalist with 11 years of experience driving fast track reconstruction, trigger algorithms, and new-physics searches at LHCb and CERN. Currently a Veni Grant Scholar at VU Amsterdam and former postdoc at Nikhef, he combines deep expertise in QCD phenomenology and heavy-flavour analysis with hands-on development of low-latency tracking software and math solvers. He has convened LHCb working groups on electroweak, jets and exotica searches, translating detector-level innovations into physics sensitivity gains. Andrii’s background spans algorithm implementations on CPUs/GPUs, genetic-algorithm optimization for triggers, and production software-trigger lines—skills that bridge statistical analysis and real-time systems. Fluent in both academic publication and large-collaboration leadership, he brings a rare blend of theoretical insight and pragmatic engineering to searches for long-lived particles.
