CERN Accelerating science

Petra Riedler is a senior staff in EP-DT, working on the development, study and construction of silicon pixel detectors. Petra first came to CERN to work as a doctoral student on the radiation damage studies for the ATLAS SCT and continued as a postdoc to work on the construction, installation and operation of the silicon tracker for the ATHENA anti-hydrogen experiment. From 2001 on Petra worked on the design, construction and operation of the present ALICE silicon pixel detector and subsequently on monolithic pixel detectors for the upgrade of the ALICE inner tracker. Since 2019 Petra works on ATLAS ITk pixel modules for the phase II upgrade. Petra holds a PhD in physics from the University of Vienna. Petra is working within the EP R&D program on the development of novel pixel detector modules, exploring new interconnection technologies and module concepts.
