Work Experience
ATLAS L0GLOBAL TRIGGER INTEGRATION COORDINATOR
CERN, Geneva, Switzerland, April 2025 – Present
As Integration Coordinator for the ATLAS Level-0 Global Trigger (L0Global), I coordinate infrastructure planning and system integration for one of CERN’s most advanced real-time trigger systems.
I oversee the design and commissioning of the FPGA-based test stand and manage integration efforts across hardware, firmware, and software components.
My responsibilities include organizing slice tests, coordinating integration plans for firmware and control software, managing test stand access and DevOps workflows, and ensuring alignment with ATLAS TDAQ operations.
I work closely with ATLAS detector experts, trigger algorithm developers, and system architects to ensure robust integration and functional validation.
This effort is essential for preparing next-generation trigger technologies for deployment in the Phase-II ATLAS upgrade.
POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP
Indiana University, Bloomington, USA, April 2024 – Present
Based at CERN, I work as a postdoctoral researcher within the ATLAS Collaboration, contributing to both physics analysis and real-time trigger development.
My research focuses on the measurement of Drell–Yan angular coefficients in W boson decays, where I contribute to the core analysis effort.
In parallel, I am involved in the development of FPGA-based algorithms
for the Global Event Processor (GEP), specifically for anti‑kₜ
jet finding as part of the ATLAS Phase‑II trigger upgrade.
I also support the Transition Radiation Tracker
(TRT) as a Run Coordinator, participating in data-taking operations and detector monitoring during ATLAS runs.
TRT RUN COORDINATOR
CERN, Geneva, Switzerland, May 2022 – Present
In my role, I oversee real-time operations within the TRT subsystem, acting as the key link between the TRT project and the ATLAS team. I manage day-to-day coordination, ensuring smooth communication and operations. A significant part of my work involves identifying and prioritising issues, directing them to the appropriate TRT experts for resolution.
I also focus on system analysis to maintain data quality and create detailed reports. Additionally, I design and implement tailored daily plans to meet the specific needs of the TRT team, ensuring their tasks are carried out efficiently and effectively.
DATA ACQUISITION EXPERT
CERN, Geneva, Switzerland, November 2015 – September 2024
As a member of the TRT TDAQ team at CERN, I have developed deep expertise in the operation of the TRT detector, becoming a key contributor to the team’s success. My responsibilities were varied and included active involvement in daily operations, ensuring the maintenance of essential software, and responding swiftly to hardware failures as needed. I also took on 24/7 on-call expert shifts, playing a crucial role in maintaining the seamless functionality of the system.
In addition to these responsibilities, I served as the primary developer and DAQ contact person for the TRD TestBeam
experiment.

Awards
Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics 2025
Breakthrough Prize, Los Angeles, USA, 2025
Awarded to the ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb collaborations "for detailed measurements of Higgs boson properties confirming the symmetry-breaking mechanism of mass generation, the discovery of new strongly interacting particles, the study of rare processes and matter-antimatter asymmetry, and the exploration of nature at the shortest distances and most extreme conditions at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider."
ATLAS Outstanding Achievement Award (AOAA)
The ATLAS collaboration, CERN, Switzerland, 2020
"For outstanding contributions to the DAQ upgrades directed to the TRT operation at high occupancy and trigger rate."
I was honored to receive the prestigious ATLAS Outstanding Achievement Award (AOAA) from The ATLAS Collaboration at CERN, Switzerland in 2020. This recognition was bestowed in acknowledgment of my contributions to the Data Acquisition (DAQ) upgrades that were specifically targeted towards enhancing the operation of the TRT system under high occupancy and trigger rate conditions.
I am humbled by this recognition and grateful for the opportunity to have made a meaningful impact within the ATLAS collaboration.
