Henning Kirschenmann is a tenured Professor at LUT School of Engineering Sciences and an Academy Research Fellow at the Helsinki Institute of Physics . He specializes in jet-energy corrections , hadronic final states , and machine learning applications for particle physics data analysis. Education Dr. rer. nat. (Physics) from University of Hamburg (2011–2014) Dipl. Phys. (Physics) from University of Hamburg (2010–2014) Research Interests His research focuses on particle physics with emphasis on CMS experiment data analysis. Key areas include jet energy corrections , top quark properties , Higgs boson decays , and quantum entanglement studies. He develops machine learning techniques for detector optimization and trigger systems , while investigating new physics through dark matter signatures and long-lived particles . Scientific Contributions Kirschenmann has contributed to 15+ CMS experiment publications since 2024, covering: Higgs boson and Z boson rare decay analyses Top quark polarization and spin correlations Jet substructure studies in proton-proton and heavy-ion collisions Detector performance evaluations for muon reconstruction and electromagnetic calorimetry Statistical analysis of multijet events and WW production Awards & Grants Research Council of Finland Starting Grant (1.1 million EUR) Academy Research Fellow (2024–present) Leadership Roles He has led multiple CMS subgroups including: Group leader for top quark mass (2022–2023) Group leader for jets and MET (2020–2022) Group leader for jet energy corrections (2016–2018)
