In 2025, the CPAD conference will be held at Penn from Tuesday October 7 to Friday October 10. CPAD is the Coordinating Panel on Advanced Detectors and seeks to promote, coordinate and assist in the research and development of instrumentation and detectors for high energy physics experiments. American Physical Society Division of Particles & Fields.

Welcome to new graduate students Hayden Bronson, Saksevul Arias Santiz, Michael Cairo, and Max Cohen. As the poster in the second floor says, a PhD is about the journey and we look forward to research with you all in the years ahead on ATLAS.
The Penn ATLAS group is excited to welcome new Professor Dylan Rankin! Dylan joins us from MIT and will start officially in January 2023, though he has already moved to Philadelphia and can usually be found on the first floor of DRL. Two highlights among many research interests include innovative application of machine learning to a search for dark mediators decaying to a collimated pair of tau leptons (note that tau leptons are always tough at hadron colliders!), and leadership in HLS4ML, which allows to develop machine learning tools and transfer them to FPGAs (this can improve our ability to pick out the most interesting few thousand events from the forty million collisions happening each second, aka the trigger). Dylan is supervising the research of third-year graduate student Gwen Gardner on boosted Higgs to WW in the lvqq final state.

In case you wonder what research is like on ATLAS as an undergraduate, take a look at the presentations given here, including by Penn rising sophomore Kristina Znam.
US ATLAS SUPER symposium August 10th 2020
Welcome to new graduate students Lauren Osojnak, Gwen Gardner, Bobby McGovern, Andie Wall, and Thomas Gosart. We look forward to working with you on the operation of the ATLAS TRT in Run 3 (2021-24), testing of electronics for the ATLAS Upgrade Inner Tracker strips and the Hardware Track Trigger for the High Luminosity LHC (2027-2035), and physics analysis on Run 2 data and the data we’ll take in Run 3 and beyond!
Congratulations to Elodie Resseguie and Khilesh Mistry, winners of ATLAS Thesis Awards in 2020!
Six of our graduate students have won ATLAS Outstanding Thesis award, the most of any US institution! ATLAS recognizes 3-6 graduate students each year from the over 1000 graduate students in the collaboration.
