CERN Accelerating science

Aurora is currently a doctoral student at CERN, participating in the EP R&D Phase 2 program while pursuing a Ph.D. in Physics at the University of Milano Bicocca. She obtained her bachelor's and master's degrees from the same institution. Member of CMS since her master's thesis, Aurora initially joined CERN as a technical student, focusing on tasks related to heterogeneous computing and performance portability libraries. Currently, her work focuses on event reconstruction for the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) within the CMS experiment. Her specialization involves the use of timing information coming from the new generation of detectors, namely the MIP Timing Detector and the High Granularity Calorimeter, to address the complexity of event reconstruction in a high pileup environment and to enhance the accuracy of the global event interpretation.
