+shortdescription: PV-Finder integration and validation into Athena
+description: >
+  PV-Finder is a machine-learning-based primary vertex reconstruction algorithm that we have been developing
+  within the ATLAS Tracking CP group. The algorithm is now relatively mature, with encouraging results on
+  both Run 2/3 data and HL-LHC simulation samples. Our current focus is on integrating PV-Finder into the
+  ATLAS Athena framework, validating its performance, and preparing the work for publication.
+  The project would involve:
+  - Assisting with the integration and validation of PV-Finder within the Athena framework.
+  - Performing timing and performance studies of the Athena implementation and comparing its performance with the current AMVF primary vertex finding algorithm.
+  - Contributing to validation studies on Run 2/3 and HL-LHC samples, including the production of performance plots and documentation.
+  - Investigating potential optimizations to reduce inference time and computational cost while maintaining physics performance.
