Agnieszka Dziurda | IFJ PAN
Local Organizing Committee chairperson
Agnieszka is a post-doc at Institute of Nuclear Physics Polish Academy of Science, working in the LHCb experiment.
In 2015, she graduated with distinction PhD in physics. Her dissertation about time-dependent charge-parity violation measurement was awarded by the LHCb Thesis Award. Since then, Agnieszka's career has accelerated resulting in many coordination roles. She spent two years working at CERN as the Research Fellow. During that time she served as the convener of the Tracking and Alignment Physics Performance Working Group, dividing her attention between coordination of the daily operational data taking aspects and the effort towards the LHCb upgrade.
Afterwards she became the coordinator of the B2OC Physics Working Group, one of the largest physics working group in the LHCb experiment with about 45 ongoing measurements. Agnieszka highlights the importance of the modern computing in the nowadays high energy physics. Therefore in 2019 she joined the HEP Software Foundation as the Software Trigger and Reconstruction Working Group convener. The mandate of this working group is aimed to provide help to the HEP experiments on matter of R&D and increase the common software and tool awareness in the field.
She believes that to achieve goals of the HL-LHC and beyond, the synergy between physics and computing is required, which can be established by the schools such as the CSC.
Tomasz Szumlak | AGH
Local Organizing Committee chairperson
Tomasz is an associate professor of physics at AGH-UST and a member of LHCb experiment and RD50 collaboration.
He defended his PhD thesis in 2004. The main topic of the thesis pertains to the first measurement of hadronic electron structure function using data collected by the DELPHI experiment. In 2005 he became a research fellow with the High Energy Physics group at Glasgow University. In 2010 he was awarded a Long Term Attached fellow and spent one year at CERN working on LHCb vertex detector commissioning. In 2011 he got a permanent position at AGH-UST, and in 2013 he received D.Sc. degree.
Presently he acts as LHCb-AGH group leader, LHCb vertex locator software project leader and upstream tracker software project deputy leader. He also holds two honorary fellow posts with Glasgow and Manchester Universities.
At the moment, his main field of interest is frontier silicon technologies for extremely radiation-hard detector systems targeting HL-HLC experiments and beyond and innovation solutions for software tools dedicated to High Energy Physics.
