Anton Taleiko

<!--HTML-->My name is Anton Taleiko and I study computer science at the University of Helsinki in Finland. I finished my bachelor’s studies in 2022 and have worked as a research assistant for one year as part of my Finnish non-military service, which is an alternative to the military service that is mandatory for all men in Finland. At CERN I have been working with data conversion in the ATLAS summer student project FLAG (FLUKA Acts-Geant4), which aims to simplify complex 3D models of particle detectors to make radiation simulations less demanding for the computation hardware. Radiation simulations can be used to estimate how long particle detectors can be used before they decay, and their efficiency goes down because of the radiation they are exposed to. After my summer at CERN I will continue my studies in the master’s programme in computer science at the University of Helsinki. I am interested in artificial intelligence.
