Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMia Tosi is an Assistant Professor and experimental particle physicist with 12 years of research and software development experience blending academia and big-science collaborations. After a PhD from the Università di Padova, she progressed through postdoc and research roles at Padova and CERN, where she contributed to CMS offline software and specialized monitoring of tracking reconstruction. Her technical work includes back-end development for CMSSW and CMGTools—improving jet tagging, boosted b-tagging, and data-quality monitoring—demonstrating comfort with complex detector topology and analysis frameworks. Based in Padua, she combines rigorous physics expertise with practical software engineering to deliver reproducible analysis tools for high-energy physics. Colleagues value her for both meticulous code refactoring in critical repositories and for translating detector-level issues into robust monitoring and analysis solutions.
