Sonia Natale
Sonia studied Physics at the University of Rome « La Sapienza » and is CERN based since her Bachelor’s Degree. She spent one year at Ecole Polytechnique de Lausanne (EPFL) and then she moved to the University of Geneva - DPNC, obtaining her PhD in Particle Physics.
She is a physics researcher, and is an expert in experimental astro-particle physics, silicon detectors and related laser devices. She contributed to the construction and commissioning of the AMS-02 experiment on the NASA International Space Station during her research activity at CERN (UniGe, RWTH, MIT).
She is also a scientific communication speaker involved in several CERN public outreach events and CERN focused programmes (National and International Teachers Training Programmes, National and International Masterclasses, Laboratory sessions as S’Cool Lab). She is a member of several juries and selection committees for Physics competitions for students (CERN BL4S, SYPT, IYPT) and for teachers (CERN « I vostri successi »). Currently involved in the organisation of the first Science and Communication Hackathon event at CERN being part of the organisation Committee.
Giulia Lavizzari
Hi! I am Giulia, a PhD student from Milano-Bicocca, based at CERN. My work here consists in developing the software to acquire data with the elecromagnetic calorimeter of CMS, which is the part of the detector that captures the energy of electrons and photons, and will undergo a major updgrade in the next years. I also participate to data analysis, in particular I study the scattering of Vector Bosons and explore the possibility to find new physics through such processes.
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.
