Navigating the PhD Journey

Michela Paganini is a Research Scientist at DeepMind. Her research focuses on investigating ways to compress and scale up neural networks. Michela's PhD thesis is titled "Machine Learning Solutions for High Energy Physics", which she completed in 2019 at Yale University. We discuss her PhD work on deep learning for high energy physics, including jet tagging and fast simulation for the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, and the intersection of machine learning and physics.
