Hello! π
I'm a researcher in particle physics at LLR (Γcole Polytechnique, Palaiseau, France), working with the LHCb experiment, at the Large Hadron Collider, CERN.
- π As a subatomic physicist, I've delved deep into unravelling the mysteries of our universe at the tiniest scale.
- 𧩠I'm interested in programming languages, especially the kind that drives intricate detectors.
- π Diving deep into data analysis with immense datasets has been my forte for years.
- π οΈ Through my journey in algorithm development, I've refined my skills in utilizing machine learning tools to optimize processes, a facet of my work that continually engages and motivates me.
- π©βπ« Making complex science relatable and engaging is something I enjoy! I've had the privilege of teaching engineering students and guiding master's internships.
- πΉοΈ On my free time, I like playing chess, co-op video games and reading mangas.
- π« To reach me: rita.sadek@cern.ch.
