Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKatya Govorkova is a postdoctoral researcher and machine learning practitioner with eight years of experience applying dense, convolutional and graph (variational) autoencoders and deep clustering to real-time scientific data streams at 40 MHz. She has held research positions at CERN and MIT, contributing ML-driven trigger systems for LHCb/CMS and astrophysics applications, and is an advocate for automation, CI pipelines, and reproducible workflows. Her background combines a PhD in Particle Physics from VU Amsterdam and specialist training from MSU with hands-on operations experience including High Level Trigger shifts and shift leadership at CERN. Katya bridges cutting-edge research and production engineering, turning complex detector data into actionable, low-latency inference pipelines. Colleagues rely on her to translate novel ML architectures into robust systems that run at scale in experimental environments. She is equally comfortable prototyping advanced variational graph models and hardening them for continuous integration in mission-critical physics experiments.
