Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJan‑Frederik Schulte is a Research Associate at Purdue University with 11 years of experience applying low-latency, high-throughput ML/AI techniques to problems in high energy physics. He is a developer and coordinator on the hls4ml project, bridging FPGA/HL design with machine learning to enable real-time inference for particle detectors. His work spans software and detector physics, including contributions to the widely used CMS Offline Software (cmssw) where he improved tracking-related classes and fixed seed-strategy crashes. Trained with a PhD from RWTH Aachen, he combines deep domain expertise in rare decay searches and silicon detectors with practical engineering that moves algorithms into constrained hardware. Colleagues rely on him to translate complex physics requirements into robust, production-capable ML solutions.
