Kerim Suruliz

Kerim Suruliz is an experienced professional with a background in experimental particle physics. From 2019 to present, they have held the role of Chief Technology Officer at Abtrace. From 2014 to 2016, they were a Research Fellow In Experimental Particle Physics at the University of Sussex, where they performed analysis of petabyte-scale ATLAS data using feature engineering, cut-based methods and machine learning techniques, and acted as coordinator of the ATLAS collaboration Analysis Software Group and convener of the ATLAS top quark properties and ATLAS third generation supersymmetry groups. From 2011 to 2014, they were a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Sheffield, developing Python code to perform multidimensional optimisation and using Bayesian techniques to set first ATLAS limit on the production of top quarks in association with a Z boson. In 2010, they held the role of INFN Similfellow at CERN. From 2007 to 2011, they were a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the International Centre For Theoretical Physics, where they developed C++ code to perform the first ATLAS top quark measurement, ran the code on the world-wide GRID, developed the analysis strategy and the background estimation methods, and performed optimisation and the statistical interpretation of the measurement.

Kerim Suruliz received a Bachelor of Arts - BA in Mathematics from the University of Cambridge in 1999-2002. Kerim then completed a Part III in Mathematics from the University of Cambridge in 2002-2003. Finally, they earned a Doctor of Philosophy - PhD in Theoretical and Mathematical Physics from the University of Cambridge in 2003-2007.
