I am a research fellow working with the CMS experiment since June 2022. I received my PhD from the University of Hamburg in 2019 before continuing as a DESY fellow until 2022. My research interests have been spin correlations in two particle systems, in particular top quarks. The study of such correlations can reveal much information about the underlying dynamics, which have been used to great effect in the search for additional Higgs bosons decaying to top quark pairs and constraining the contributions of effective operators in top quark interactions. I will be working with the EP-CMG group at CERN, where I am excited to work on a topic I am highly interested in: the use of machine learning algorithms for robust object reconstruction and identification, within the context of the high granularity calorimeter upgrade. In addition, I am also looking to extend my research scope to precision measurements of the SM Higgs boson.

I am a microelectronics design engineer and in May 2022 I started my new position at EP Electronic Systems for Experiments (ESE) group as a fellow. My primary objective will be the design of radiation-tolerant DC-DC converter integrated circuits using advanced and High-Voltage CMOS technology. Moreover, I will contribute on the electrical validation and radiation tolerance characterization of the prototypes. I previously worked at CERN as a trainee in the Beam Instrumentation - Beam Position section for the Beam Position Monitors of the Hollow Electron Lense (HL-LHC) project. Before joining CERN, I worked in industry designing integrated circuits for Space applications.

I started my career in the travel industry, first as a travel agent and then as an administrative assistant at the International Air Transport Association (IATA), where I worked for over 15 years. I started working at CERN 5 years ago and worked in various services such as the UK Liaison office and CMS before joining the Users Office in February 2021 where I was hired as a staff member in June of this year. I enjoy CERN’s international and multicultural environment and it is rewarding to be able to provide assistance to our community.

As an Administrative Assistant in the Users Office, I take part in the general customer service provided to CERN's guest scientists and share the daily tasks of registration, establishment of personnel contracts and interfacing with visiting scientists with the team. I also get to work on side projects such as one focusing on KB (Knowledge Base) articles. The project will involve providing the Service Desk with clear standard answers and generally expanding the Users Office existing offer of knowledge articles. I hope to bring my motivation and energy and that it will help our guests to work in the best conditions possible. Karine

I have been working for the last 3 years as a Fellow and I am very happy to continue working in the same group and section (Electronics Systems for Experiments and Back-End) as a Staff member. I will continue to give support to the GBTx (Giga Bit Transceiver ASIC) and lpGBT (Low Power Giga Bit Transceiver ASIC) users to ensure the correct operation of the custom front-end and back-end electronics of the several LHC experiments for the next runs. Furthermore, I will continue developing hardware and software for the Versatile Link Plus ecosystem.

Michaela joined the ATLAS experiment in 2015 for her PhD at Charles University (Czech Republic), during which she started to work on Tile Calorimeter (TileCal) and measurements of the Higgs boson decays to a pair of tau leptons. As of April 2022, she is a Senior Fellow with her main objective being the design and performance optimization of a TileCal-like hadronic calorimeter for FCC-ee, and the construction of a small prototype of this detector. In parallel, she continues her involvement within the TileCal group as a Data Preparation and Performance Coordinator.

I am an experimental particle physicist working on the ATLAS experiment. After studying physics at the University of Freiburg in Germany, I moved to the Netherlands where I obtained my Ph.D. at Nikhef and the University of Amsterdam. My research focussed on measurements of Higgs boson decays to heavy-flavour quarks and their interpretations within the framework of Standard Model Effective Field Theories. During my senior research fellowship at CERN I started to work on measurements that are sensitive to the Higgs-boson self coupling with particular focus on final states with two bottom quarks and two tauons. In addition, I contribute to the development and evaluation of a prototype of the ATLAS pixel detector upgrade in light of the future High-Luminosity LHC.

I joined the EP-ESE-BE in April this year. As a technical fellow, I am working on automated test benches for general laboratory and modular instrumentation at CERN electronics pool.

I obtained my PhD from The University of British Columbia in Vancouver, where I worked on muon combined performance and searches for new high-mass phenomena in the dilepton final state with ATLAS. After that, I joined University College London as an NSERC postdoctoral fellow where I focused on Higgs physics analyses and tracking improvements for flavour tagging. I joined CERN as a Senior Research Fellow in May 2022. During this fellowship, I will continue my mandate as convener of the clustering and tracking in dense environment subgroup, and work on di-Higgs physics analyses. I will also contribute to the detector installation and commissioning of the MoEDAL-MAPP detector

I started as a research fellow in the EP-LBD (LHCb) group in May. Before joining CERN, I was a postdoctoral research assistant at the University of Cincinnati and obtained my PhD from the University Heidelberg, both in LHCb. During that time I was involved in trigger software developments and baryon spectroscopy analyses. I will continue working on the trigger software for the ongoing commissioning and data-taking. I would like to explore new methods for reconstructing charged hyperons to use them in future analyses that extend the coupled channel amplitude analysis of charm decays to hyperons initiated in Cincinnati.

I'm delighted to join the EP-CMG group as LD Applied Physicist, after completing a Senior Fellowship in the same group. My work will focus on the Phase-2 Upgrade of the CMS Level-1 Trigger. I develop FPGA implementations of physics algorithms that fit the tight latency constraints. In particular, I will work on the Correlator system that will perform Particle Flow reconstruction, as well as computing higher level objects like jets and energy sums. I will also continue to contribute to the hls4ml and conifer projects that enable Machine Learning with low latency and low power in FPGAs.

I am a Junior Fellow at the CMS Physics, Software & Computing group (EP-CMG-CO). In my group we continuously build, test, deploy and improve the software we use to process the data deriving from the collisions generated by the LHC in the CMS experiment. I have a BSc degree in Engineering Physics and MSc degree in Machine Learning and Data Analysis, I am really looking forward to merge all of these in the DevOps context. Last year, I was a Technical Student in the CernVM-FS team (EP-SFT), so I am really excited about being back in this wonderful organization!
