Juan Manuel Cruz Martinez, PhD

I am currently a CERN fellow in the Theory group. Previously I've worked at the Department of Physics of the University of Milan, as part of the N3PDF team. I did my PhD at Durham University.

My main research interests are at the intersection between High Energy Physics (HEP) and High Performance Computing (HPC). I am part of the NNPDF collaboration, where we utilize Machine Learning techniques to model the partonic structure (quarks and gluons) of the proton in highly energetic collisions. I am involved with the development of several computing tools dedicated to state-of-the-art high precision calculations using either novel methodologies or new hardware, such as Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) or Quantum Computers (QC).

In my spare time you can usually find me coding, reading, watching anime, playing videogames, going places, swimming or, more often than not, having some kind of existencial crisis as I try to keep a balanced work-life equilibrium.

You can contact me by mail, bluesky or messenger pigeon.
