. Murtaza Safdari
Ph.D. Student in Physics, admitted Autumn 2016
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsIncorporating novel techniques from ML and AI, we're aiming to improve the performance of ATLAS, one of the four Particle Physics detectors on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). There is scope for improvement in both offline analysis of data, as well as the online processing of data in real time as the data is being collected.
We're also studying the various decay modes of the Higgs boson to better understand its properties as well as uncover new Physics hidden in the myriad of final states. -
Gabriella Safran
Eva Chernov Lokey Professor in Jewish Studies and Professor, by courtesy, of German Studies
BioGabriella Safran has written on Russian, Polish, Yiddish, and French literatures and cultures. Her most recent book, Wandering Soul: The Dybbuk's Creator, S.

Safran teaches and writes on Russian literature, Yiddish literature, folklore, and folkloristics. She is now working on a set of projects investigating nineteenth-century short Russian and Yiddish fiction in the context of the history of listening.
As the chair of the DLCL, Safran is increasingly interested in how academic structures affect teaching, learning, and scholarship in languages and literatures. -
