Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrieuc Francois is a research and software leader with 12 years of experience applying data analysis, machine learning, and full-stack detector software to high-energy physics projects at CERN and other international labs. Currently coordinating physics software and computing for the Future Circular Collider, he blends hands-on simulation, digitization and reconstruction development with distributed computing and ML-driven analysis frameworks. His background spans detector R&D, PCB design for noble liquid calorimeters, HPC system administration, and satellite image processing—showing a rare mix of hardware, low-level software and scalable data pipelines. He has led trigger and DAQ teams, supervised electronics and firmware development, and built public modular analysis tools used in LHC studies. Based in Geneva, he pairs technical breadth with strong communication skills and a talent for translating complex physics requirements into production-ready software and prototypes. An enthusiastic learner, he often bridges academic research and engineering implementation to accelerate experimental goals.
