Research Professor at Wigner Research Center
Budapest, Hungary
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFerenc Siklér is an experimental particle physicist and research professor in Budapest with 11 years of documented experience and a multi-decade career leading groups at Wigner and international roles at CERN and GSI. He develops advanced particle reconstruction and identification methods and applies them to study strong interactions, combining deep physics insight with practical software and DevOps skills. His contributions to the CMS offline software include building and maintaining a C++ server component to publish beam spot data via DIP, reflecting a rare blend of detector expertise and production-grade engineering. As a former department head and group leader he pairs hands-on technical work with strategic research leadership. He holds a summa cum laude PhD in Elementary Particle Physics from Eötvös Loránd University and is based in Budapest, Hungary. An interesting facet of his profile is that he bridges low-level experimental instrumentation needs with high-level physics analysis, enabling both reliable beam monitoring and improved particle reconstruction.

Back-end & DevOps EngineerContributions:26 reviews, 55 commits, 26 PRs in 4 years 10 months
Contributions summary:Ferenc primarily focused on configuring and maintaining a system for publishing beam spot data, likely for monitoring purposes. They implemented a server component using C++ and integrated it with a DIP (Distributed Information Publish) system. The commits demonstrate involvement in setting up configurations, including network settings, and fixing potential deployment issues by copying necessary configuration files. Additionally, they worked on integrating with CMS and LHC systems to publish and retrieve beam spot data.
