Run coordinator of the UA9 Experiment. Following its successful results, the devices tested by the experiment were installed in the LHC, the flagship accelerator at CERN, in 2014.– Scaled the operations from two data taking campaigns per year to ten. Implementation of electronic logbooks, wiki pages, check-lists for recurring procedures, on-call incident response.– Led the integration and the commissioning of new test-bed hardware, including scalable optical-fibre data transfer system… Show more Run coordinator of the UA9 Experiment.
