Draft:Elliott Tanner
| Submission declined on 22 October 2024 by Snowman304 (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Research
[edit]Tanner's research spans multiple fields within high-energy physics, focusing on particle physics and machine learning applications for data analysis. He has contributed to several research projects:
- As a Graduate Research Assistant under Dr. Priscilla Cushman at the University of Minnesota, Tanner is involved with the FAIR-4-HEP SuperCDMS project.[5] His work applies machine learning techniques to improve particle event position reconstruction in detectors, enhancing current methods and addressing limitations in position accuracy.[6]
- During a research internship with the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) Group at CERN under Dr. Jeremiah Mans, Tanner utilized Gaussian Processes to analyze CMS simulation data.
- Previously, as an Undergraduate Research Assistant under Dr. Andrew Furmanski at the University of Minnesota, Tanner worked on simulations of cosmic muons interacting with liquid argon detectors for the Short-Baseline Neutrino Program at Fermilab.
Awards and recognition
[edit]Tanner has received multiple honors, including the University of Minnesota's Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program Scholarship and the Presidential Scholarship. He was also a recipient of the NSF Graduate Data Science in Multi-Messenger Astrophysics Trainee fellowship.[7]
Personal life
[edit]Tanner enjoys listening to **Steely Dan**, playing the guitar, traveling, and spending time with friends.[8]
