PROFILE
Jacob Plotnick
Over six months, Jacob Plotnick developed and enhanced data visualization and analysis features for the IMSA-CMS/CMSAnalysis repository, focusing on histogram generation, plotting frameworks, and interactive UI components. He implemented unit-aware histogram axes, refactored plotting logic for maintainability, and expanded support for Higgs and Dark Photon analyses. Using C++, HTML, and JavaScript, Jacob improved error handling, file management, and systematic uncertainty calculations, resulting in more reliable and interpretable analytics dashboards. His work addressed both backend data structures and frontend visualization, demonstrating depth in scientific computing and statistical analysis while ensuring code extensibility and clarity for CMS analysis workflows.
