About Eric Feng

Overview:I am a Program Manager in the Office of High Energy Physics (HEP) at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). I oversee a $75M annual budget to operate scientific facilities at national laboratories- Neutrino (LBNF/DUNE, NOvA, SBND & ICARUS, ANNIE) and muon (Mu2e, Muon g-2) experiments at Fermilab- Plasma wakefield (FACET-II) and conventional (NLCTA, S30XL-LESA) accelerators at SLAC/Stanford- NERSC supercomputer resources at Berkeley Lab-Experience- Particle physicist (PhD) on ATLAS experiment at CERN Large Hadron Collider for 15 years- Delivered cutting-edge products in hardware, electronics, machine learning, cloud computing, and statistical analysis in a fast-paced environment.Leadership- Over 10 years of experience leading groups of 4 to 20 physicists and engineers (with ~300 observers)Communication skills- Written: Published 46 public documents (18 peer-reviewed journal publications and 28 technical reports)- Verbal: Presented 25 public talks at international conferences, colloquia, and seminars to both technical and non-technical audiences.Technical skills- Machine learning: Scikit-Learn, XGBoost, LightGBM, TensorFlow, Keras- Data science, programming: Python (Pandas, NumPy, SciPy), SQL, C++, Bash, Git, Jira- Big data: ETL pipeline, data quality, parallel computing (cf. Hadoop), cloud storage (cf. AWS)- Statistical analysis: A/B hypothesis test, p-value & confidence interval, max likelihood, Bayes
