Bio
Dr. Ahmed Bassalat is an assistant professor in the Physics department and the team leader of the ATLAS-CERN group at An-Najah National University. He performed his doctoral at CERN and got his PhD in Particle Physics from Paris Saclay University in 2016. Dr. Bassalat is carrying out joint research between An-Najah University and Paris Saclay University. He founded the Centre of Excellence in High Energy Physics in Palestine (CEHEP2) sponsored by CERN. He initiated the Winter School in High Energy Physics in Palestine (WISHEPP) in collaboration with the IJCLab and CERN and has chaired it since 2016. He managed a few European mobility projects with a budget exceeding 500 KEuro. Dr. Bassalat leads many actions to get involved the Palestinian universities in High energy Physics via a close collaboration with many European institutions and universities, Sorbonne University, CERN, IJCLab, Paris Saclay University and ICTP. He is supervising several graduate students.
The student (A computer Engineer) will build a new method (With optimized algorithms) to perform the calculation in parallel computing approach. The results will be compared with other previously-obtained to validate the approach. The Center of Excellence in HEP in Palestine (CEHEP2) will help in offering the parallel computing power needed for such algorithms/analysis.
