Kyle Cranmer is Associate Professor of Physics at New York University and affiliated with NYU’s Center for Data Science and CILVR Machine Lab. He is an experimental particle physicist working, primarily, on the Large Hadron Collider. Professor Cranmer obtained his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2005 and his B.A. in Mathematics and Physics from Rice University. He was awarded the Presidential Early Career Award for Science and Engineering in 2007 and the National Science Foundation’s Career Award in 2009. Professor Cranmer developed a framework that enables collaborative statistical modeling, which was used extensively for the discovery of the Higgs boson in July 2012. His current interests are at the intersection of physics, statistics, and machine learning.

Kyle Cranmer est Professeur de physique à la New York University et membre affilié aux Center for Data Science et CILVR Machine Lab de la New York University. Il est expérimentateur en physique des particules, essentiellement auprès du grand collisionneur de hadrons. Le professeur Cranmer a obtenu son doctorat en physique à l’Université de Wisconsin-Madison en 2005 et son B.A. en Mathématique et Physique à l’Université Rice. Il a reçu le « Presidential Early Career Award» en sciences et ingénierie en 2007 et le « National Science Foundation’s Career Award» en 2009. Le professeur Cranmer a développé un environnement qui permet une modélisation statistique collaborative, utilisé largement dans la découverte du boson de Higgs en juillet 2012. Ses centres d’intérêts actuels sont à la frontière entre la physique, la statistique et le machine learning.
