Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSantiago Folgueras is a physics professor and experimental researcher at the University of Oviedo with over a decade of hands-on experience in the CMS experiment at CERN, specializing in supersymmetry searches, muon performance and trigger development. He has authored 52 peer-reviewed papers, delivered invited talks at international conferences, and coordinates competitive national and ERC-funded research projects such as INTREPID. His software contributions span core CMS offline software and CMGTools, where he implemented Phase-2 DT trigger primitives and automation for multi-lepton analyses, reflecting a rare combination of detector-level coding and analysis automation. As an academic leader he has served as vice-dean and department subdirector, bringing operational and mentoring experience to multidisciplinary teams. Notably, his PhD work produced a muon isolation algorithm later used in Higgs analyses, illustrating an ability to translate algorithmic innovations into high-impact experimental results.

CMGTools as a subsystem, not as a CMSSW overlay
Role in this project:
Back-end Developer & Automation Engineer
Back-end Developer & Automation EngineerContributions:48 commits in 2 months
Contributions summary:Santiago primarily contributed to the development of tools for high-energy physics data analysis within the CMGTools framework. Their work included creating scripts and modifying existing ones to generate shape cards for statistical analysis, specifically for the SS2L (same-sign dilepton) and other multi-lepton analysis regions. They also worked on integrating and utilizing friend trees, and implementing lepton-related utilities such as jet cleaning and identification, which points towards involvement in data processing and automation tasks. Furthermore, they were heavily involved in integrating trigger SF to the code.

CMS Offline Software
Role in this project:Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:1 review, 130 commits, 42 PRs in 8 years 11 months
Contributions summary:Santiago's commits primarily focus on implementing and refining the DT TPG (Trigger Primitive Generator) for Phase-2, specifically addressing review comments and integrating code-checks and code-formatting. Their work involved modifications to the `DTTrigPhase2Prod.cc` file, which suggests involvement in the core backend processing logic of the CMS Offline Software. The commits demonstrate the user's ability to integrate code with testing and formatting tools.
