Tanvi Wamorkar

Hello! I’m a particle physicist and a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Berekeley and in the Machine Learning for Fundamental Physics group at the Lawrence National Laboratory. Previously, I have been a postdoctoral researcher in the ATLAS group at Argonne National Laboratory from October 2021 through May 2024.

My work is centred at the development and application of machine learning based techniques and tools to discover new physics at the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider.

I obtained my Ph.D. in Physics in the high energy physics group at Northeastern University, supervised by Prof. Toyoko Orimoto. I developed and led a novel search for the exotic decay of the Higgs boson into light pseudoscalars with four photons in the final state on the CMS experiment. As a graduate student, I also specialized in the operation of the CMS Electromagnetic Calorimeter and the timing upgrade of CMS experiment for the high luminosity LHC era.

I am always happy to interact and collaborate on potential projects, ideas, and analyses. Feel free to shoot me an email if you want to get in touch!
