Summary
Gregor Kasieczka is a Professor for Machine Learning in Particle Physics at Universität Hamburg with 12 years of experience developing deep learning methods for the CMS experiment at CERN. He combines a strong academic pedigree (PhD summa cum laude from Heidelberg) with hands-on research in anomaly detection, generative models, and robustness to search for exotic new particles at the LHC. His career includes postdoctoral work at ETH Zurich and rapid academic progression from postdoc to junior professor to full professor, reflecting both research impact and leadership. Gregor is known for translating cutting-edge ML techniques into practical tools for high-energy physics analyses, often prioritizing interpretability and resilience to detector effects. An experimentalist at heart with a theoretic rigor, he bridges particle-physics intuition and modern ML engineering to push the frontier of discovery.
