CMS Virtual Visit - Brazil / Instituto Federal do Amazonas - IFAM, Campus Manaus

Guides

Guides:

Beatriz Ribeiro Lopes

Beatriz is originally from Lisbon, Portugal and studied Physics Engineering at Instituto Superior Técnico. She started working for the CMS collaboration in 2018, as part of the Laboratório de Instrumentação e Física de Partículas (LIP) group. 

In 2023, she obtained her PhD in Particle Physics at the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) laboratory in Hamburg, Germany. There, she measured two different rare processes involving top quarks, using data collected by CMS.

Since 2024, she works at CERN as a Research Fellow. She continues her research on top quarks, and is also contributing to a search for Higgs bosons decaying into charm quarks. 

Beatriz is also involved in the upgrade of the CMS endcap calorimeter for the high luminosity phase of the LHC. Additionally, she is interested in science communication, was a DESY guide for four years and is now a CMS guide.

Denis Oliveira Damazio 

I am born in Brazil and got my Ph.D in the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro

in 2002, working on Neural Networks applied to the ATLAS hadronic calorimeter.

Then I went in 2003 to work for the Brookhaven National Laboratory. In 2005,

I came back to CERN to work on the ATLAS installation and develop trigger

algorithms for this detector. Presently, I coordinate the High-Level Calorimeter

Trigger group and the future (HL-LHC) Event Filter Calorimeter group.

I perform a number of virtual visits for Brazilian Schools and the participate

on the CERN Master Classes.
