Short biography
I completed my MSc at the University of Buenos Aires in 1998 working on the measurement of the production cross section of direct photons at the D0 experiment (Fermilab, USA). I worked in Sweden as a member of the Astroparticle Group of the Royal Institute of Technology studying cosmic rays before starting my PhD (2003, University of Buenos Aires) measuring the properties of quarks and gluons in high energy collisions at D0. In 2003 I became a postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard University where I worked mainly at the CDF experiment (Fermilab) on top-quark physics and detector operations. In 2008 I joined the IFAE (Institut de Física d'Altes Energies) LHC-ATLAS experiment group as an ICREA Researcher. In 2012 I became an ICREA Research Professor. I am currently leading the ATLAS Detector upgrade effort at IFAE.
