Silas Grossberndt is a patent examiner for Artifical Intelligence applications at the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Silas received a bachelor’s in math and physics from Columbia University in the city of New York in February of 2018, and, in January to April of that year, he worked at CERN as a researcher, investigating the effect of ionizing radiation on next-gen trackers for ATLAS and helping to improve performance of ROOT version 7. Further, Silas has been involved with the search for the Higgs boson in the Z-gamma channel, the search for heavy vector triplets in the Higgs-Z/W channels and the construction of the milli-qan dark fermion detector for CMS. Silas has also performed research into the structure of the X(3872) tetra-quark and the higher twist corrections to large Nc structure functions of Deep Inelastic Scattering procedures. Silas is currently applying to PhD programs in particle and nuclear physics.
