Bio
I graduated from the University of Montreal in 2008 with a master's in Solid-state physics, and from the University of Paris XI in 2011 with a PhD in High Energy Physics, working on the design, simulation, and characterization of the hybrid planar pixel detectors for LHC's ATLAS detector insertable B-layer upgrade.
From 2011 to 2020, I was stationed in Geneva, Switzerland, first as a Fellow in CERN's Linear Collider Detector Group, and in the University of Geneva ATLAS group. My work focuses on instrumentation R&D for vertexing and tracking in future electron-positron and hadronic colliders. I have built a reputation as an expert in the simulation, design, and characterization of various Silicon detectors, from hybrid to monolithic designs. I am one of the main authors of the Allpix and Allpix2 software framework for the simulation of semiconductor detectors.
I joined ORNL in the relativistic nuclear and high energy physics group as R&D staff, focusing on the development of LGAD and MAPS detectors for future nuclear and high energy physics experiments. My interests range from simulation to characterization of sensors and their readout, focusing on new detector concepts for precise time and spatial resolution, and on novel detector integration concepts integrating AI/ML methods and high bandwidth data transmission and processing methods.
