Simone Gennai
I
I have studied Physics at University in Pisa and since then I have been working within the CMS Collaboration. I obtained my Ph.D. at Scuola Normale in 2004 studying the Higgs boson and extra dimensions. I have been fellow at CERN for three years and I am permanent researcher at INFN Milano-Bicocca since 2011.
I have been involved in tau lepton reconstruction, H into tautau analyses and I have spent several years within the CMS Trigger studies group. From 2016 to 2020 I have been one of the two trigger coordinators and presently I am the Trigger officer for the Physics coordination.
Recently I have joined the R&D project for the Phase-2 CMS Inner tracker pixel detectors, working on test beam data analysis and simulation studies.
Giulia Lavizzari
I am a first year PhD student from the University of Milan Bicocca, where I graduated just a few months ago.
I am currently based at CERN, working on a part of the software that will be used for the datataking during the LHC Phase-2, namely the data-acquisition system for the electromagnetic calorimeter, which is the CMS subsystem devoted to measuring the energy of electrons and photons.
Beside this, I am working on a CMS analysis aimed at assessing the sensitivity of a particular electroweak process, Vector Boson Scattering, to new physics.
Aurora Perego
I'm a PhD student in experimental particle physics at the University of Milano Bicocca, currently based at CERN. My research focuses on event reconstruction for the CMS Phase-2 Upgrade and Future Colliders, with a specific emphasis on leveraging the time information available with the novel generation of detectors to enhance the global event interpretation.
My involvement within the CMS experiment started with my master's degree, during which I spent six months at CERN working on heterogeneous computing and portability libraries to speed up the code used to reconstruct events in CMS.
CMS virtual technical experts:
Zoltan and Noemi, physicists, PhD in particle physics
During the last 20 years, they have been working for Hardware Muon Barrel Alignment System and Fiber Optical Sensing System at CMS
Their big hobby has been the CMS Virtual visits since the beginning.
