Postdoctoral Researcher at Technical University of Munich
Munich, Bavaria, Germany
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicole Hartman is a postdoctoral researcher based in Munich with nine years of experience applying machine learning and statistical methods to high-energy physics analyses, primarily within the ATLAS experiment at CERN. She develops and deploys advanced ML solutions—from attention mechanisms and deep sets to neural spline flows—for di-Higgs searches, b-jet identification, and robust data-driven background modeling, optimizing analyses that reduced backgrounds by over 70%. At the Technical University of Munich she consults across physics and ML projects in the Origins Data Science Lab, bridging academic collaboration and production-scale C++ validation across trillion-event datasets. Nicole’s work combines rigor in statistical hypothesis testing with practical engineering to run models in experiment software, and she’s one of the lead editors who coordinated 400+ pages of collaboration documentation—evidence of strong technical communication and project stewardship.
