Passionate About Science

Statistical Data Analysis of both quantitative and qualitative data to find anomalies and signatures in multiple scientific fields: astronomy, high energy physics, environment and global health.

Sustainable Design and Innovation

Designing eco-friendly and economical products, software and services to support diversity and inclusivity and for the socio-economic good of under-represented groups of people.

Engineering Solutions

Interdisciplinary and cutting edge solutions to support the UN Sustainable Development Goals specifically: zero poverty, health and well being, gender equity and climate change.

Hi there, I am Akanksha

I’m a Computer Scientist at CMS Offline Computing, at CERN, Switzerland. I manage, analyse and support the European grid sites of the WorldWide Computing Grid for production and analysis of the detector data.

Previously, I was a Technical Student at AWAKE, and had an immersive experience in the world of High Energy Physics. I helped the physicists in my team and developed a remote control magnet software application for the electron beam line for long term and consistent monitoring.

My experiences and efforts in my past and current research projects have stemmed out from uniting multiple disciplines, and an internal desire to build things that make this world a better place for everyone.

RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

Scientific Collaborations Across The World

CMS ExperimentParticle Detector
The Compact Muon Solenoid detects particle collisions. The experiment is designed to capture and observe any new physics phenomena at the LHC.
AWAKE ExperimentLinear Particle Accelerator
AWAKE is a particle accelerator and increases the energy of the particles. It achieved the first ever acceleration of electrons in a proton-driven plasma wave.
CERNParticle Physics
 Physicists and engineers from around the world use the most complex scientific instruments and one of the largest machines to study the smallest particles. 
Department of PhysicsManav Rachna University
Physicists study the nature of atmosphere and disasters. Innovate eco-friendly practices for the under-represented sections of society.
