CERN LHC Nuclear Chemistry Research

Particle Physics Simulation & Detector Modeling

This research explores how subatomic particles interact with matter using Monte Carlo techniques, Geant4 simulations, and large-scale computing.

Simulation as a Scientific Instrument

Designed detector geometries, material interactions, and physics processes from the ground up.

Detector Geometry Modeling Constructed detailed calorimeter geometries
Monte Carlo Transport Simulated particle interactions
Statistical Analysis Generated distributions

High-Performance Computing & Scale

Executed large-scale simulations using distributed computing systems.

Distributed Workflows Parallel execution across clusters
Performance Optimization Improved runtime efficiency
