Christoph Rembser had his first high-energy experience as a CERN summer student in 1989. Since then he has worked on the ZEUS, OPAL and ATLAS experiments, gaining expertise in various types of detectors and searching for new physics phenomena.
Main focus of Christoph's detector work has been - and still is - the development, design, testing, assembly, commissioning and operation of gas detectors in HEP experiments, as the ZEUS Forward and Rear Tracking Detectors, the ZEUS Transition Radiation Detector (not performing as expected but one learns most in challenging projects) and the ATLAS Transition Radiation Tracker (which is just fantastic).
After an intermezzo 2004/2005 as a professor at the University of Erlangen, teaching about experimental techniques and learning about astroparticle physics (no challenging gas detectors here, unfortunately), he returned to CERN to work again with detectors and to find new particles.
For ATLAS, he served from 2008 until 2013 as project leader for the Transition Radiation Detector and the Inner Detector. Since 2016, Christoph is the leader of the CERN ATLAS team, which plays a major role in operating and upgrading the ATLAS experiment, e.g. the Micromegas for the upgrade of ATLAS's Muon System. When time allows, Christoph, together with ATLAS TRT colleagues, tries to design and test transition radiation detectors for future experiments.
