STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS DATA 69 Robert Jacobsen Statistical Analysis of High Energy Physics Data Transcript of Presentation and PowerPoint Slides BIOSKETCH: Robert Jacobsen obtained a BSEE from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1978. He spent 1976 through 1986 working in the computer and data communications industry for a small company that was successively bought out by larger companies. He left in 1986 to return to graduate school in physics, obtaining his PhD in experimental high energy physics from Stanford in 1991. From 1991 through 1994, he was a scientific associate and scientific staff member at CERN, the European Laboratory for Nuclear Physics, in Geneva, Switzerland. While there, he was a member of the ALEPH collaboration concentrating on B physics and on the energy calibration of the LEP collider. He joined the faculty at Berkeley in 1995.
