Short biography

I earned my MSc in 1998 from the University of Buenos Aires, where my research focused on measuring the production cross-section of direct photons at the D0 experiment (Fermilab, USA). Before beginning my PhD, I was a member of the Astroparticle Group at the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden, studying cosmic rays. My doctoral research, also at the D0 experiment, involved measuring the properties of quarks and gluons in high-energy collisions. In 2003 I joined Harvard University as a postdoctoral fellow. There, I primarily worked on top-quark physics and detector operations for the CDF experiment at Fermilab. In 2008, I became an ICREA Researcher with the IFAE (Institut de Física d'Altes Energies) LHC-ATLAS experiment group, and in 2012, I became an ICREA Research Professor. I currently lead the ATLAS Detector upgrade effort at IFAE.
