CMS Guides:
Claire Lee
Claire is a South African particle physicist working for the U.S. Department of Energy's Fermilab, studying the basic particles and forces that make up our universe. She completed her PhD on the ATLAS Experiment, one of the large multipurpose experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research), in Geneva Switzerland.
She is now a member of the CMS Collaboration, working on the day-to-day operation of the CMS detector, as well as on the communications teams for CMS and Fermilab.
She is an experienced public speaker and has been invited to speak at places such as the UNESCO Headquarters in Paris and the UN offices in Geneva, and at events such as TEDx and New Scientist Live. She was diagnosed with ADHD in 2022, and has been amazed at how much more sense the universe makes, ever since.
Cristina Penades Huesca
Cristina Penades is a mechanical engineer from Spain, working at the Integration Office of the CMS experiment.
She’s deeply involved on the design of new infrastructure for the cooling and powering for the next generation of detectors.
