Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMahdi Taani is an engineering manager and applied scientist with nine years of experience translating advanced particle-physics research into production-ready algorithms and health-tech solutions. He holds dual PhDs in High Energy and Elementary Particle Physics and has built simulation and signal-processing tools in C++ and Python for large experiments, including contributions to the widely-used WCSim GEANT4 application. At Zedsen he progressed from physicist and applied mathematician to Engineering Manager, leading algorithms and analysis work that bridges cloud-native tooling (AWS, Azure, Docker) with rigorous statistical and ML methods. As a Research Affiliate at King’s College London and a former researcher at Super-Kamiokande/Hyper-Kamiokande, he combines academic collaboration with product-focused delivery. Colleagues rely on him for designing bespoke detectors and maintaining complex simulation back-ends—skills that reveal a rare blend of hardware intuition and software craftsmanship.
