Group work on ML will be presented at ML4EIC workshop

Matthew McEneaney and Connor Pecar will present their work using ML for event tagging and kinematic reconstruction at CLAS and the EIC respectively at the upcoming ML4EIC workshop.

Group description and thesis topics

As this page has not been kept up to date, but people interested in thesis work are contacting us. Therefore I thought it might be useful to share a presentation about our group I gave to the incoming Duke graduate students this year.

Here is the link.

Of course, please contact me for any additional questions.

New review on transverse spin physics

Happy to announce our comprehensive review on transverse spin physics in semi-inclusive processes:

Welcome Frank Meier

Frank Meier started as a postdoctoral research associate in our group in October. His research focuses on flavor physics at the Belle II experiment.

He brings rich experience from his previous experience at the University of Sydney and he also serves as the analysis tools convener for the Belle II experiment.
