Dr. Joseph Kinghorn-Taenzer

Dr. Kinghorn-Taenzer received his PhD in Experimental High Energy Physics at the University of Toronto. Beginning as an undergraduate at McGill University, he took a strong interest in ATLAS, one of the four major experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research near Geneva, Switzerland. His thesis was titled “Study of the Higgs boson produced in association with a weak boson and decaying to WW* with a same sign dilepton and jets final state with the ATLAS detector at the LHC.”

Dr. Kinghorn-Taenzer has played several roles in connection with ATLAS, including maintainer of the ATLAS jet calibration software packages, a role which involved not only software development but also providing support to ATLAS colleagues who used the software.
