Aggie Branczyk interviews Riccardo Di Sipio, who did his PhD in experimental particle physics and now works as a machine learning developer. Riccardo’s academic journey took him to the ATLAS experiment at CERN, where he contributed to groundbreaking work, including the discovery of the Higgs boson. He discusses how exciting this was but also how it ultimately led to him pursuing a career outside of academia. He shares his insights on transitioning into industry, gives us a glimpse into his day-to-day, and describes the similarities and differences between the scientific and industrial environments. He gives some solid advice to current PhD students, and stresses the value of students staying up-to-date with the latest trends in technology, particularly in artificial intelligence and machine learning.
