Fermilab scientist Nhan Tran receives prestigious DOE award to expand particle collider research capabilities using artificial intelligence

Fermilab scientist Nhan Tran is developing computer systems to cope with the increasing amounts of data that particle colliders produce. The field of particle physics produces colossal amounts of data as it pushes the frontiers of human understanding. Fermilab scientist Nhan Tran is working to make sure researchers have the innovative techniques and technology they need to handle the data deluge and to select the details that are likely to reveal exciting new physics phenomena. And now he has received a prestigious award to advance this work. The Department of Energy Early Career Research Award will provide Tran with $2.5 million over five years to lead efforts to apply artificial intelligence to push the frontiers of both physics and technology.
