Abramowicz Halina

Halina Abramowicz is a tenured full professor at the School of Physics and Astronomy, Tel-Aviv University since 1998 and an external scientific member of the Max Planck Institute of Physics, Munich since 2008. She holds the Nathan Cummings Endowed Chair in Experimental Particle Physics. Her research focuses on experimental high-energy physics, including perturbative/non-perturbative QCD, neural networks for data classification, and detector design for future colliders like ILC and CLIC.

• Education:
  • Habilitation in Physics, Warsaw University (1988)
  • PhD in Physics, Warsaw University (1978)
  • MSc in Physics, Warsaw University (1974)
• Key Roles and Fellowships:
  • Humboldt Fellow (DESY, 1989–1990 and Hamburg University, 1998)
  • Coordinator of ZEUS Collaboration working groups (1993–2000)
  • Scientific Associate at CERN (2014–2015)
• Research Contributions:

  She pioneered the application of artificial neural networks to particle identification and has led studies in deep inelastic scattering (ZEUS Collaboration), double-parton scattering (ATLAS, LHC), and bubble chamber experiments. Her work on nucleon structure functions and precision measurements of weak mixing angle (CDHSW Collaboration) remains influential.
