Career paths event

Transition done - from academia to industry

On Thursday, 20th April 2023, a career event will be hosted by the 11th Beam Telescopes and Test Beams Workshop. The event is also open for all PhD students and PostDocs from the DESY campus.

We will start at 6PM in building 1, seminar room 4a+b but the event will be in hybrid mode via a Zoom connection. The format will be a panel discussion with invited speakers moderated by the workshop organizers. Afterwards you are invited to some drinks and snacks.

So come by and let's discuss with us!

After doing his postdoc at the University of Geneva he became a fellow at CERN, working on monolithic CMOS sensors (MALTA), basically living in test beam facilities all over Europe. Later he became a researcher at the University of Salento, working on ITk and Machine Learning applied to ATLAS data analysis, and he was in the organising committee of BTTB 9 & 10. He won in 2021 1MEur to start a research on how plants respond to acoustic stimuli, this research is still ongoing, currently first results are being gathered.

 

Katharina Dort 

 

Katharina did her masters at the University of Giessen in Germany, where she worked on the Belle II experiment using neural networks for data-analysis purposes. She went on to do her PhD at CERN working on monolithic pixel detectors. She was involved in simulations, lab work as well as test-beam activities. She now works at KPMG and is mostly involved in audits, where she reviews the risk management of financial institutions.

 

 

Alessia Renardi

 

Alessia studied physics in Napoli with internships at Fermilab and CERN in between. In 2018, she moved to Hamburg and started her PhD in the ATLAS group at DESY working on the ITk strip detector. With her knowledge on silicon sensors and detector technologies, she joined Littelfuse in Lampertheim in November 2022, where she is now employed as Research and Development Engineer with the focus on chip design. 
 

 

 

Julie Lu

 

Julie studied Asian Studies and Economics at the University of Hamburg. She has gathered first experiences in recruitment as well as Product Marketing before becoming a full-time recruiter at Lumics GmbH & Co.
