I am an Electronics Engineer, and during my PhD I specialised in power electronics. I have worked in the design of dc-dc converters, including the power stage, measurements and control. I joined CERN in 2020 as a Fellow under the EP R&D programme, where I designed rad-hard and magnetic tolerant power solutions for future upgrades. I recently joined the EP-ESE-FE section as a staff member, where I will contribute to the development and commissioning of the HGCAL endcap calorimeter in CMS.

Gianmario Bergamin received his MS degree in micro and nanotechnologies for ICTs, a joint program among Politecnico di Torino, Institut Polytechnique de Grenoble and EPFL. He joined the EP-ESE-ME section in February 2019 for his master thesis, working on the CMS Outer Tracker Front-end ASICS. In his fellowship (2020-2022), he has been involved in the CHIPs program, with expertise on ASIC design and implementation, contributing to the development of ALTIROC3 for HGTD detector. In January 2023 he started a staff position in the same section.

I’m a Mechanical Engineer in EP-DT-FS (CO2 cooling). I first came to CERN in 2011 as a 21 year old Unpaid Associate, in PH-CMX. I was completely besotted with CERN and its work culture and left longing to come back. Luckily, in 2016 I got a chance to do my PhD here. This was followed by a Senior Fellowship in 2021, and now an LD. We’re working on building a lot of CO2 cooling systems for the Phase-II upgrade of ATLAS/CMS. I love it here.

Hello, my name is Maxime and I joined the ATLAS team as a mechanical technician and member of staff in January 2023. Before arriving at CERN, I followed a training course in design and industrialization in microtechnology and I worked for 8 years in the Swiss watch industry in a milling workshop for the manufacture of mechanical movement components. Today I will participate with my colleagues, in the machining and assembly of parts, for the manufacture of the new ITK Pixel Outer Barrel detector.

I am a Senior Applied Fellow in the EP-SFT group and work on key4hep, a turnkey software stack for future accelerators. I received my PhD from the University of Granada while working in The Pierre Auger Observatory, studying ultra-high energy cosmic rays. I did a postdoc at University College London working on the neutrino experiments NOvA and DUNE. On NOvA I took mostly computing-related roles while for DUNE I worked on the DAQ. I have been based at CERN since 2021, because of my work on DUNE.

I joined the EP department in January 2023 and as of 1 June I’ll take over the role of Resources Coordination for the ALICE Collaboration. At CERN since many years, before joining EP I worked in the following areas: knowledge transfer, partnerships & fundraising, human resources, occupational health & safety, thermomechanical design, and metallurgy. I hold a MSc in Mechanical Engineering and an MBA.

Hello! My name is Fran. I studied physics and electronics at the university. I started at CERN in 2022 as a technical student for the EP-ESE-ME department, studying the effects of the radiation on the 28nm silicon technology. After that, I started a fellowship in EP-ESE-FE, at the same time I finished a bachelor in aerospace engineering. My current task at CERN involves the evaluation of different interconnects for chips that will be used in the future for the new generation of sensors inside the detectors.

I joined the CMS experiment in 2013 for my PhD (UCLouvain - CP3, Belgium) to work on double Higgs production analyses, b-tagging algorithms and Tracker commissioning. During my first postdoc (Hanyang University, South-Korea), based at CERN, I coordinated the CMS RPC Trigger group activities and worked on searches for top-Higgs flavor changing neutral current. In 2020 I joined CERN as a fellow to design the PCB readout electrodes, develop the full simulation framework and optimize the performance of an innovative highly granular noble liquid calorimeter for future accelerators. I will now work on FCC detector software as a Staff.

I joined the EP-ADE-CA group as a Senior Research Fellow in March to investigate multi-top quark signatures with the ATLAS experiment and develop algorithms for identifying the flavour of the partons which initiate the formation of a jet. Before arriving at CERN, I worked on dark matter searches during my PhD at Max-Planck-Institute for Physics in Munich and on resonance searches in four-top-quark final states during my first postdoc at DESY Hamburg as a member of the ATLAS collaboration. I also joined the EP-R&D programme and will study silicon detectors for future experiments in test beam measurements.

I am an experimental particle physicist working with the ALICE experiment. I joined the CERN-ALICE group as a Senior Research Fellow in February 2021, and since
February 2023, I continue at ALICE as LD Research Staff. My current research aims at characterizing the properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma under the large magnetic
field and angular momentum, created at the initial stages of heavy-ion collisions. In addition, I am also interested to understand the mechanisms of hadron formation in
the presence of large partonic densities. As a staff member, I will also contribute to the R&D for the upgrade of the silicon detectors of the ALICE experiment.

I began my journey at CERN in TE-VSC-VSM as a Project Associate, eventually transitioning to a Fellow contract in within EP-DT-EO. In February, I re-joined the EP department for the second time, specifically EP-ADE-TK, to contribute to the ATLAS ITk Pixel Outer Barrel's mechanical engineering tasks. My main responsibilities include designing detector components and assembly tools, developing 3D CAD models and 2D assembly and production drawings, performing analytical calculations, and conducting finite element analysis. Additionally, I engage in prototyping and testing activities to validate design choices, and participate in the procurement and production follow-up of the components we design.

Having worked as an electrical technician in the industry for many years, I recently joined the LHCb Experiment as a member of the “Infrastructure Team”. I have already performed some maintenance and installation tasks in the detector area before the cavern closure and am now participating in the daily operation of the infrastructure at Point 8. I will be involved very soon in the LS3 preparation, in particular with the replacement of the Detector Safety System by a new system currently in development at EP/DT. I am very delighted to start this new professional adventure!

Ioannis Tsiokanos is currently a Senior Applied Fellow at CERN contributing to the microelectronic developments towards the novel pixel sensor chip of the ALICE ITS3 detector. Ioannis received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Computer Engineering from University of Thessaly in 2016 and was awarded his Ph.D. degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering from Queen’s University Belfast, UK in 2021. In the same university, he conducted research as a Research Fellow throughout an 1-year postdoctoral position. Ioannis also holds 1-year industrial experience as he worked as an IC Digital Design Engineer in a Swiss company, namely u-blox.

I joined the ATLAS collaboration in 2009 and at the beginning of March 2023 started a staff contract with CERN. Throughout my time I have held a strong interest in hadronic jet reconstruction and calibration, including developing and commissioning particle flow reconstruction and leading the combined performance group. My physics analysis interests have included searches for Supersymmetry, Standard Model jet measurements, W-boson lepton flavour universality tests in Top-quark decays and I am currently studying Higgs bosons decaying to tau leptons. I look forward to continuing these and other projects at CERN.
