Kyle Cranmer

Kyle Cranmer is an American physicist and a


professor at New York University at the Center for Kyle Cranmer
Cosmology and Particle Physics and Affiliated Faculty Born Little Rock, Arkansas, U.S.
member at NYU's Center for Data Science (https://cds. Nationality American
nyu.edu/). He is an experimental particle physicist Alma mater University of Wisconsin-
working, primarily, on the Large Hadron Collider, Madison
based in Geneva, Switzerland. Cranmer popularized a Rice University
collaborative statistical modeling approach and ASMS
developed statistical methodology,[1] which was used
Known for Higgs boson
extensively for the discovery of the Higgs boson at the
RooFit/RooStats
LHC in July, 2012.
Data preservation
Cranmer is active in the discussions of data open access
preservation, open access, reproducibility, machine e-publishing
learning, and e-science in the context of particle Awards Presidential Early Career Award
physics. Cranmer performed a search for exotic Higgs for Scientists and Engineers
decays in archived data from the ALEPH experiment[2] (2006)
ten years after the experiment finalized. He serves on National Science Foundation's
the advisory board for INSPIRE (https://inspirehep.ne Career Award (2009)
t), the literature database for high energy physics, and Goldhaber Fellow, Brookhaven
is a member of the Data Preservation in High Energy National Laboratory
Physics (https://dphep.org) study group as well as Data Scientific career
and Software Preservation for Open Science (https://da Fields Physics

Institutions New York University
Since the discovery of the Higgs boson, Cranmer has Brookhaven National
been a popular choice as a guest on science television Laboratory
programming. In July, 2011, Cranmer appeared in a Doctoral Sau Lan Wu
special episode of Neil deGrasse Tyson's StarTalk Live advisor
alongside Bill Nye the Science Guy, Eugene Mirman,
and Sarah Vowell. In a special video created for Science Nation, the online magazine of the National
Science Foundation, Cranmer was featured discussing the Higgs boson in November, 2012. Cranmer also
discussed the discovery of the Higgs boson in a TedxTalk in February, 2013.[3]

Cranmer obtained his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2005 under Sau Lan
Wu and his B.A. in mathematics and physics from Rice University. He was a Goldhaber Fellow at
Brookhaven National Lab from 2005 to 2007. In 2007, he was awarded the Presidential Early Career
Award for Scientists and Engineers from President George W. Bush via the Department of Energy's
Office of Science and in 2009 he was awarded the National Science Foundation's Career Award. Cranmer
is also a graduate of the Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences, and the Arts. He was named a
Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2021.[4]
