Outreach

I believe particle physics should be accessible to everyone. Below are some of the outreach activities I've been involved in or am planning.

Public talks

What holds the universe together? A journey inside the LHC

A general-audience talk introducing the Large Hadron Collider, what we've discovered so far, and what we're still looking for. Suitable for all ages from ~14 upward. Available in English, French, or Italian.

Interested in hosting this talk at your school, science festival, or community event? Get in touch.

Quantum entanglement: from Einstein to the LHC

How we observed quantum entanglement at the highest energies ever probed — and why it matters. A non-technical introduction to our Nature paper, with live demonstrations of quantum concepts.

CERN visits and virtual tours

As a CERN Fellow, I can arrange guided visits to CERN for student groups, teachers, and the general public. Visits typically include the ATLAS visitor centre, the Synchrocyclotron exhibition, and (subject to availability) underground access to the detector cavern.

Virtual tours are also available via Zoom for schools that cannot travel to Geneva.

Contact me to discuss logistics and available dates.

Science festivals and workshops

Particle physics masterclass

A hands-on workshop where secondary school students analyse real ATLAS collision data to "rediscover" the \(Z\) boson. Participants learn to identify electrons, muons, and jets in event displays, then combine their measurements to reconstruct the \(Z\) mass peak.

Duration: 3 hours. Suitable for ages 16–18.

Build your own particle detector

A workshop using cloud chambers to visualise cosmic rays and radioactive decays in real time. Participants build their own cloud chamber from household materials and learn to identify different particle types from their tracks.

Duration: 1.5 hours. Suitable for ages 12+.
