Sara Bolognesi
Sara Bolognesi (born 31 March 1981) is an Italian particle physicist. She specializes in the physics of the Standard Model and neutrinos. She is a researcher at the Institute for Research on the Fundamental Laws of the Universe. In 2024, she received the CNRS Silver Medal.
Career
[edit]Sara Bolognesi defended her doctoral thesis in 2008 at the University of Turin . She did postdoctoral research at CERN and then at Fermilab.[1] She worked on the CMS experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider, where she contributed to the installation of the detector and the discovery of the Higgs Boson. In 2012 she turned to neutrino oscillation with the T2K (Tokai to Kamioka) experiment in Japan.[2][3]
Sara Bolognesi is head of the physics group on neutrino oscillations within the international collaboration Hyper-Kamiokande and scientific leader for the IRFU of the project. She is responsible at the CEA for the JENNIFER2 project of the Horizon2020 program of the European Union for which she obtained a grant from the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions. In 2024 she received the CNRS silver medal.[4]
