Code

Together with Felix Kling, Irina Espejo, Sinclert Perez, and Kyle Cranmer, I have developed the MadMiner library, which automates machine learning–powered simulation-based inference techniques for particle physics experiments.

My GitHub page has the code for most of my papers.

Talks

Over the years, I had a lot of fun presenting our research in different places. See this repository for a list and PDF versions of my slides. I'm always happy to talk about our recent papers.

Not work

I like travelling and taking pictures.
