Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKarol Krizka is an Assistant Professor in particle physics at the University of Birmingham with 16 years of experience bridging experimental detector development, large-scale data analysis, and computation. His work spans leading searches for energetic Higgs bosons and dark matter within ATLAS to hands-on hardware and firmware development for ITk strip sensors, including ASIC testing, PCB and powerboard design. He brings industry tooling into HEP workflows—advocating for Apache Spark, pandas and dataframe paradigms to scale analysis on large clusters. Trained with a PhD from the University of Chicago and a theoretical physics BS from Simon Fraser, he combines deep theoretical grounding with practical engineering and systems-level thinking. An uncommon strength is his fluency across electronics, firmware, and data frameworks, enabling him to move ideas rapidly from prototype hardware to production-scale analysis.
