Roger‘s Statistics Book is a staple among particle physicists - RIP
Profoundly sad to read news of Roger Barlow's passing. A great physicist, educator and communicator, who lived by his principles and would share his wisdom with anyone who asked. The world is now a poorer place.

Big grant news today! I feel very lucky and honored for this opportunity from @erc.europa.eu . We will attempt to go for a big qualitative step up in how we use AI/ML to predict how particles interact with matter. Stoked to get started on this in 2026. we will release job advertisements soon!

1/New paper led by Matthias Vigl arxiv.org/abs/2509.01397 - we wanted to see whether you can see double descent and a benefit of overparametrization in particle physics data and tasks. We see both model- and epoch-wise double descent but the story is more complicated than we thought:
