Heng Li
Heng Li is a graduate student working with professor Julia Thom's research group at LEPP. The group is part of an international collaboration preparing the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment that will operate at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) scheduled to begin operation in 2007 in Geneva, Switzerland. He is calibrating the CMS detector software so that the 66 million pixels of the detector light up at the appropriate voltage, and he's optimizing the software so that it runs fast enough to capture the maximum amount of data from the detector.
