I am an aerospace engineer graduated at Politecnico di Milano. I pursued a PhD in the same field at Delft University of Technology. I joined the EP-DT-EO group as a post-doctoral research fellow in November 2023, and I am working on the EP-R&D project (WP4 - Detector Mechanics). The project is devoted to introducing robotic systems in the design of future particle detectors, as well as in the inspection of current detectors.
After finishing my master's degree in Aeronautical Engineering (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid), I focused my career on the structural analysis, working in several fields such as aeronautics, railway and defence.
At CERN, I work in the structural design of the barrel electromagnetic calorimeter of the proposed future collider experiment ALLEGRO, as well as the thermo-mechanical analysis associated to it.
After working at CMS for 10+ years with jet calibration and Particle Flow, I take on new challenges as a Research Fellow in the Noble Liquid Calorimetry for Future Accelerator Experiments project. We work on improving the design of noble liquid based electromagnetic calorimeters (ECAL), successfully used by e.g. ATLAS and DØ.
Joshua is an experimental particle physicist with a keen interest in software development and data analysis. He obtained his physics degree from the University of Göttingen and has been a member of the ATLAS Collaboration since his undergraduate days. Throughout his career he has been actively involved in various aspects of the experiment, including performance studies and the search for new physics.
During her Ph.D. at DESY, Hamburg, Swathi worked on developing methods to eliminate certain parasitic physics processes at the International Linear Collider and applied them for SUSY searches at the electroweak scale. After graduating, Swathi joined the Max-Planck-Institute for Physics as a post-doctoral fellow where she studied the Higgs at 250 GeV for the ILC. As a fellow at CERN, she will be helping to develop simulation and reconstruction software for future collider experiments, Key4hep, as well as ensuring its physics quality for detector studies.
Juan Miguel is an experimental physicist focused on software. He received his PhD from the University of Granada after working in The Pierre Auger Observatory. He did a postdoc at University College London on the neutrino experiments NOvA and DUNE. Now, he works on key4hep, a turnkey software stack for future accelerators.
Viros Sriskaran joined the Microelectronics Section of the Electronic Systems for the Experiments Group (ESE) of the Experimental Physics (EP) Department in 2016. He has been responsible for the design and implementation of analog circuits for the Medipix4 chip and other circuit blocks used in the Timepix2 and Timepix4 chips. Currently, he is working on the development of novel hybrid silicon sensors under the framework of the Experimental Physics department R&D, with a specific focus on the ASIC design for future vertex detectors.
Stefan Biereigel studied Electrical Engineering at EAH Jena, Germany. He joined CERN in 2018 as a doctoral student, researching All-Digital PLL and CDR circuits for radiation-tolerant clock generators. Since 2021, Stefan is a fellow in the EP-ESE section, continuing his research on low-jitter clock generation and distribution in the scope of the EP RnD activities for future generations of high-speed optical links.
Peter is an experimental physicist focused on applications and development of silicon pixel detectors. He did his Ph.D. with the University of Manchester where he was working on building and characterising LHCb VELO Upgrade modules and working on simulations for the future VELO Upgrade. Apart from that, Peter worked on a Tpx3Cam project since 2017, providing capability of single photon detection with nanosecond resolution to various international collaborations with experiments ranging from molecular dynamics to quantum information technologies.
