معرفی
Dr. Karol Hennessy is a Research Associate at the University of Liverpool, School of Physical Sciences, Department of Physics. They work on Experimental Particle Physics with focus on Data Acquisition Systems and Silicon Detectors at CERN's LHCb experiment.
- Coordinates LHCb's VELO data acquisition team
- Involved in VELO upgrades for LHC Runs 1–3
- Member of DUNE experiment's DAQ coordination
- Developing Machine Learning algorithms for FPGA-based particle tracking
Research interests center on high-energy physics detector systems, particularly silicon tracking detectors in extreme radiation environments. Their work spans hardware development, firmware programming, and data acquisition optimization for large-scale experiments.
Recent publications analyze B meson decays, CP violation, and charmonium production, while technical projects focus on FPGA acceleration using Intel's oneAPI framework. They supervise Liverpool students at CERN and collaborate across international teams including LHCb and DUNE.
