Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWeinan Si is a Graduate Student Researcher and PhD candidate in physics with 10 years of hands-on experience building experimental detector systems and data-driven software for high-energy physics at Fermilab and CERN. He combines deep domain expertise in silicon pixel detectors and sensor characterization with practical software skills in C++ and Python to create real-time monitoring, alerting, and novel signal-reconstruction algorithms applied to dark matter searches and CMS operations. Comfortable leading independent projects and collaborating across large teams, he has delivered supervised learning pipelines and in-time prediction tools that bridge experimental hardware and computing workflows. Curious and design-oriented, he gravitates toward programming as a way to build tools that make complex experiments more robust and actionable, often bringing machine learning and big-data analysis into production-like monitoring systems. Based in Chicago, he leverages a rigorous academic background and extensive commissioning experience to solve interdisciplinary problems at the intersection of instrumentation and software.
