Sascha Caron is an associate professor at uu77 in Nijmegen and a leading researcher at Nikhef. He works at the interface of fundamental physics and data science. He has been involved in several important experiments, such as D0 (at Fermilab) and H1 (DESY). As a researcher at the ATLAS experiment (CERN), he made leading contributions to the first LHC searches for dark matter and supersymmetry and is pioneering data-driven methods and machine learning to explore new physical phenomena. In addition to his experimental work, Caron leads research in the fields of dark matter phenomenology, astroparticle physics and astrophysics. Caron has initiated and led a number of innovative projects dealing with data analysis and artificial intelligence. These include collaborations with the Dutch eScience Center, the Dutch Supercomputing Center, contributions to the "Les Houches Workshop" series and the co-founding of the Darkmachines Initiative. He is currently initiating a pioneering pan-European collaboration to integrate AI in fundamental physics research (European Collaboration for AI in Fundamental physics (EuCAIF)) and works closely with renowned European research organizations such as ECFA, APPEC and NUPECC.
