Senior🎓
Top SchoolRyan White is a physicist-turned-data scientist with eight years of experience applying machine learning, high-throughput C++/Python systems, and data governance to real-world measurement science and statistical operations. Currently a Research Officer in Digital Metrology at the National Research Council Canada, he blends expertise from leading trigger and real-time analysis software at CERN with public-sector roles at Statistics Canada to deliver FAIR-aligned data products and analytics at scale. He has a track record of optimizing large compute farms and production pipelines—once cutting processing needs by thousands of cores—while building and managing collaborative teams that translate complex data into operational assets. Ryan’s background as an experimental particle physicist and PhD researcher gives him uncommon depth in both algorithm design and production-grade software engineering for high-rate data environments.
