Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGouranga Kole is a postdoctoral researcher with 10 years of experience applying C++, Python and advanced simulation tools to high-energy physics analyses on the CMS experiment at CERN. With a Ph.D. from TIFR, he has led novel searches—most recently a first-of-its-kind study of same-sign top pair production with a charm jet—and contributed to precision measurements such as AK4 jet b-tagging performance at 13.6 TeV. He combines strong detector and Monte Carlo expertise (including authoring genproductions configurations for Higgs decay modes in Pythia8) with proven leadership across international collaborations at NTU, UC San Diego, and CERN. Colleagues rely on him for rigorous data-driven methods, clear communication of results in papers and talks, and for turning complex physics scenarios into reproducible simulation workflows.

Generator fragments for MC production
Role in this project:
Backend Developer
Backend DeveloperContributions:51 commits, 28 PRs, 57 comments in 4 years 11 months
Contributions summary:Gouranga primarily contributes to the `genproductions` repository by creating and modifying configuration files for generating Monte Carlo (MC) production samples. Their work involves defining physics processes, specifically related to Higgs boson decays, and adjusting parameters within the Pythia8 event generator. The user is creating scripts to generate cards used in Monte Carlo simulations. The modifications indicate a focus on simulating different Higgs decay modes and parameter variations for various physics scenarios.
