The thought of thousands of scientists and engineers counting on you to fix an integral part of the collider so they can keep their research going is incredibly motivating and exciting
The main growth I have seen in myself is on a personal level. Simply through all the international experiences and the different people I got to meet during my time at CERN.
You think CERN, you think physics, not civil engineering! It took some time to navigate the systems and internal processes, but with the help of my team, I was able to find my footing and see just how crucial the civil engineers are to CERN's success.
For me, working at CERN means having the chance to deepen my knowledge in the incredible field of physics — but it’s also so much more than that. It’s an experience that exposes me to true multidisciplinarity, where I get to learn every day from experts.
Coming from a mechanical technician apprenticeship, I’ve found myself in a unique role — both a technician and a mechanical designer for the technical coordination team of one of the four main detectors on the LHC, the LHCb.
My work focuses on implementing new functionalities and statistics on the ATLAS calorimeter to identify the most problematic boards and components to prevent future problems.
Ever since I started university, I’ve always been most passionate about courses that were deeply rooted in Physics. I was never satisfied just plugging numbers into formulas, I always wanted to understand the principles behind them.
