Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFedor Ratnikov is a leading scientist and software researcher with 12+ years applying AI, deep data mining, and large-scale computing to High Energy Physics experiments at CERN and beyond. He has driven core software and analysis efforts for CMS and LHCb, including contributions to Higgs discovery–scale analyses and petabyte-scale data handling and calibration systems. Based in Naperville, IL, he blends rigorous PhD-level physics training with production-grade software engineering, supervising statistical interpretation and mentoring graduate researchers. Fedor’s work spans research institutions and industry (Higher School of Economics, Yandex, Karlsruhe, University of Nebraska), demonstrating an unusual mix of experimental physics insight and practical system-building for extreme signal-to-noise problems. He’s now seeking to translate that expertise in data-hungry, computationally demanding domains outside particle physics.
