Today, on the United Nations International Girls in ICT Day (International Telecommunication Union), we're celebrating two researchers making their mark at the intersection of computing and particle physics. 💻⚛️ Tara Tahseen and Paula Martínez Suárez are working on anomaly detection algorithms in partnership with CERN openlab, Oracle, UCL (UCL Centre for Data Intensive Science and Industry) and the CERN ATLAS Collaboration, exploring how machine learning can help identify rare physics signals in real time, at microsecond and nanosecond timescales, directly at the hardware trigger level. Their work contributes to one of the most data-intensive environments in science: the LHC, where the ATLAS detector processes collision data at a rate that makes real-time, intelligent event selection not just useful but essential! 🔗 Learn more about the projects they are working on: 🔸 Anomaly Detection for Ultra Low Latency Event Selection at the LHC (ATLAS Experiment): https://lnkd.in/eupgMR7m 🔸 Investigation of Anomaly Detection Algorithms for Filtering Events with Microseconds Latency in the ATLAS Hardware-Level Trigger: https://lnkd.in/evJTpDjb Watch the video to hear from Tara and Paula about their research and their journeys in ICT 👇 At CERN openlab, we are also proud to offer opportunities through our Summer Student Programme that empower young women to gain hands-on experience at the cutting edge of ICT for science here at CERN. Through collaborations with initiatives like IDEAS4HPC, we also actively support dedicated funding for female summer students. #WomenInICT #CERNopenlab #CERN #ATLASExperiment #WomenInSTEM #WomenInScience

🚀 Supercharging AI with Hyperparameter Optimization and HPC At VSC Users Day 2025, Eric Wulff (CERN) explored how high-performance computing (HPC) is accelerating the development and optimization of large-scale AI models. Training modern AI systems requires massive computational resources, especially when searching for optimal hyperparameters. This presentation shows how HPC infrastructures and distributed computing make it possible to efficiently explore large parameter spaces and significantly improve model performance. Key topics covered include: 🔹 Hyperparameter optimization as a compute-intensive AI workflow 🔹 Scaling machine learning experiments across HPC systems 🔹 Distributed training strategies for large models 🔹 Real-world applications of AI and HPC in scientific research at CERN The talk highlights how combining AI, distributed computing, and supercomputing infrastructure enables faster experimentation and more robust models for data-intensive science. 📺 Watch the recorded presentation: https://lnkd.in/eWErfVvz 🔎 Explore more talks and highlights from VSC User Day 2025: https://lnkd.in/epXCMG2D #ArtificialIntelligence #MachineLearning #HPC #Supercomputing #ai

Celebrating International Women’s Day 🎉🌍 During the Advanced Computing User Days organised by EuroCC Netherlands and SURF, keynote speaker Dr Maria Girone, Head of CERN openlab and Principal Applied Scientist in CERN’s IT department, shared inspiring perspectives on HPC integration in high-energy physics — along with the challenges that come with driving innovation at scale. When we spoke with her, she also shared advice for women in HPC — words that resonate far beyond our field and that we are proud to share with all powerful women shaping the future of advanced computing: "Be strong. Trust in your abilities. Stand with other women — support each other, don’t compete. Create space for the next generation and mentor young women to thrive. Together, we shape the future of HPC.” Let’s continue building an inclusive, supportive and forward-looking HPC community — together. #InternationalWomensDay #WomenInHPC #HPC #AdvancedComputing #Leadership #Mentorship
