PROFILE

Nicholas

Worked on enhancing particle lineage tracing in the SegmentLinking/cmssw repository by introducing new fields to the LHETable data structure. Developed and integrated firstMotherIdx and lastMotherIdx fields, enabling precise tracking of particle ancestry across events, which supports improved data quality for downstream physics analyses. Migrated index storage from short_t to int16_t to optimize memory usage and performance, and completed all necessary data-model updates for CMSSW15 integration. The work involved C++ development, data analysis, and a strong understanding of data types and physics simulation, demonstrating a focused approach to both feature implementation and efficient resource management within scientific software.
