Herzlichen Glückwunsch Dr. Carina!
On this Friday 28th April 2023, Carina presented her thesis, titled Development of microlens-enhanced SiPMs for a radiation-hard scintillating fibre tracker at LHCb in front on numerous public of family, friends and collegues. She will pursue her physics adventures with a post-doc in Barcelona, where she has been accepted within a SNSF Postdoctoral Fellowship. We (…)

New tenure track assistant professor in particle physics
On the 1st of January, Prof. Radoslav Marchevski has started his tenure track professorship at EPFL, working on the NA62 experiment and also the LHCb experiment at CERN. He will be joined in March by two post-doc, Luis Miguel Garcia Martin and Alina Kleimenova, and one PhD student, Xiafei Chang.
Merry Christmas to the LPHE lab!
2022 touches its end and the lab members took some time to eat, drink and celebrate! On the 16th December, PhD students and postdocs had a nice Thai lunch buffet at the restaurant “Délices du Siam” in Renens. After two years of cancellation, the lab finally enjoyed a Christmas dinner, gathering the lab members of (…)
Two more awards attributed to Guillaume’s thesis
In March 2022, Guillaume Pietrzyk (previously a PhD student at the LPHE-OS lab) presented his thesis entitled Precision measurement of neutral charm meson mixing. His work has definitely proven its quality: in addition to the 2022 LHCb Thesis Award, he has been nominated for two more distinctions. In June, the 2022 CHIPP Prize jury was (…)
Anni wins the Great Cubotron Bake-off!
The third edition of the Great Cubotron Bake-off – the famous lab bake-off contest happened during the months of October and November! And the winner of this year’s contest, who takes home the title of the Cake King or Cake Queen is: Anni! She convinced the jury (our lovely colleagues of the LPHE lab) with (…)
Fulfilling his dream: Marc is going to Antartica for the IceCube experiment
Since he started studying physics at EPFL, Marc Jacquart was fascinated by the IceCube experiment. His dream was to – at some point of his academic career – spend 13 months at the South Pole to help with the running of the detector. This dream is becoming reality sooner than expected. IceCube is one (…)
Yunxuan Song wins a BESIII PhD Thesis Award
Yunxuan Song (LPHE-LS) has been rewarded for his PhD thesis “Search for Baryon Number Violation and Flavor Changing Neutral Current at BESIII“. The BESIII PhD Thesis Award is designed for students who have “distinguished themselves by performing outstanding contributions to BESIII in the related areas (physics analysis, software, computing, hardware, etc.) in the context of (…)
Congratulations, Elena!
Elena Graverini, Ambizione fellow at LPHE-LS, has been elected by the board of CHIPP (Swiss Institute of Particle Physics) to be the new Deputy CHIPP Outreach coordinator. In this role, she will be responsible to coordinate events organised by the various institutions, propose new outreach ideas and identify topics for the outreach articles at the CHIPP (…)
ยินดีด้วย, Dr. ‘smiling’ Ek-In!
Friday, 21st of October, Surapat Ek-In (LPHE-OS) brilliantly defended his analysis with the title “Model-independent measurement of charm mixing parameters in D0 -> K0s π+ π– decays” in front of his friends and family. His mum and sister flew all the way from Thailand just for this occasion – and we’re sure he made them proud! Everybody (…)
