I am a particle physicist and a long-time member of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. I have many years of experience in detector systems and data acquisition, and have worked on designing, building and now upgrading the trigger and data acquisition systems for the ATLAS calorimeters.
I head the instrumentation physics division at Fysikum, a group of particle, nuclear, accelerator and plasma physicists with strong detector and instrumentation backgrounds. I also teach courses in electronics and digital system construction, aimed primarily at students pursuing studies in experimental physics.
The ATLAS experiment is one of four large experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) facility at CERN, and one of two general-purpose detectors designed to explore a wide range of questions about the fundamental constituents of matter and the forces of nature.
