Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMiles Cochran-branson is a predoctoral research associate and incoming Physics PhD student at the University of Washington focusing on machine learning applications in experimental high-energy particle physics with the ATLAS collaboration. He combines hands-on experience at CERN and in CMS/STAR-related work with solid computational skills in C++ and ROOT, plus applied ML for tau lepton energy-scale studies. A Lawrence University physics grad and former REU participant, he has bridged physics education research and frontline collider analysis, tutoring and developing retrieval-practice models that improved undergraduate learning. Based in Seattle, he brings nine years of analytical and data-focused experience, blending experimental intuition with data science fluency to translate detector-level signals into physics insight.
