About the author

Sergei V. Chekanov

<p>Dr. Sergei V. Chekanov (born 1969, USSR, then Belarus) dedicated 30 years to high-energy physics, studying the creation of the smallest and most fundamental particles that comprise all matter. He graduated from the Belarusian State University with a degree in Theoretical Physics. In 1997, he obtained a Ph.D. in experimental physics at Radboud University in Nijmegen, Netherlands. </p><p>He has published over two hundred professional articles, many of which are based on data analysis obtained at multinational particle accelerators at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) and DESY (German Electron Synchrotron). Dr. S.Chekanov is also the author of two books on scientific data analysis. He contributed to Standard Model measurements and led a group of scientists measuring photons (light quanta) at the highest energy ever created in particle accelerators. In recent years, Dr. S. V. Chekanov has coordinated the search for new particles beyond the Standard Model at the Large Hadron Collider (CERN) using artificial intelligence and deep neural networks. </p><p>In 2005, S.Chekanov created a software environment for data analysis, now known as DataMelt. Currently, this software is the world's leading open-source program for data analysis, statistics and scientific visualization.</p><p>He is the founder of the HandWiki encyclopedia on computer science, science, technology, and general knowledge and a core developer of  the Knowledge Standard Foundation (KSF) team, founded by Wikipedia's co-founder Dr. Larry Sanger.</p><p>Currently he works at Argonne National Laboratory (Chicago, USA).</p>
