Inspired by the deep insights revealed in the recent work around the Amplituhedron, a new and deeper mathematical principle has revealed itself. While the amplituhedron caused quite a buzz even outside of the world of theoretical particle physics, thus far it is restricted to \(\mathcal{N}=4\) supersymmetry. In contrast …

I updated my Research page to include the Altmetric badges to highlight a few papers that I've been involved with that had some impact outside of high energy physics. On the side, I was wanting to try out the INSPIRE API. So I put the two together to make a …

This weekend's project was a fun one!

Update: Since the original post I made some more progress. I'm developing the code into my GitHub play/manifoldLearning repository. Below is from the README.

I'm working on a paper about Informtion Geometry.
The first step was an iPython notebook on Visualizing information …

So, I'm taking the leap and migrating from Wordpress to pelican. Less than year ago I switched to Wordpress from an ancient Zope site and was happy to have something that worked easily. I was very busy at the time and I guess I felt old and didn't want to …

This week NYU hosted a Software Carpentry Bootcamp along with Berkeley and U. Washington (the other institutes in the Moore-Sloan data science environment). I sat in on the python classes (there were also classes in R). However, on Monday, there was a huge announcement from the BICEP2 collaboration about the …

Particle physicisits primarily use ROOT for the data analysis framework. Part of that framework is a package called RooFit statistical modeling and fitting package. I have contributed to this package and added a layer on top called RooStats that provides with statistical inference in both frequentist and Bayesian paradigms based …
