Summary 

1- Education

I was born and raised in Algeria where I completed my undergraduate university studies in physics. After obtaining  my bachelor and the diploma of higher specialized studies in  in nuclear physics at the Science and Technology University  (USTHB) of Algiers (Algeria) in 1987, I  had the opportunity to pursue doctoral studies at the University of Grenoble in France. I have been awarded a Master in 1988, then a PhD in nuclear and particle physics from the University of Grenoble in 1990. I obtained my "research habilitation" at Grenoble University in 1999.

2- Research activities

The CERN Journey

I have been hiredt at at CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, France) in 1991. I am currently a senior research scientist,  physicist in the experimental field of nuclear physics, particle physics and cosmology. I worked  at CERN (European Organization for Particle Physics) since 1989, first on my PhD work, then I took part in a heavy ion collision experiment at CERN's super proton synchrotron (SPS), the NA50 experiment that in year 2000 contributed to the discovery of the quark-gluon-plasma state, the QGP.  I did a short "passage in a NASA space experiment, AMS, for the search for antimatter in space. I joined the ATLAS experiment on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)  in 1999. There, I contributed to the major discovery of this century in particle physics, the Higgs boson (Phys.Lett.B 716 (2012) 1-29).   I held positions of coordination, as team leader of the ATLAS Grenoble team, member of the publications committee  then as physics office coordinator. In parallel, I served as  scientific manager of the National LHC Grid infrastructure (LCG-France) and the scientific coordinator of the international research network with Morocco, P2IM. My journey in ATLAS is slowly coming to an end with the long shutdown of the LHC starting June 2026.

Jumping onto the unknown to explore the dark side of the universe

In 2022, I launched a collaborative project on a future underground laboratory in Africa, PAUL for Paarl Africa Underground Laboratory (arXiv:2306.12083 [hep-ex]). In January 2024, at the SSP sumposium, the PAUL collaboration was officially endorsed and it obtained a seed-funding to explore its feasibility inside the Huguenot Tunnel in the Cape Town region, South Africa. The concept design of the future laboratory has been contracted to the Tunnel operating company (SMEC) who delivered it April 2025.  I have also obtained 5-year CNRS international research network, the IRN PAULINE  which started in 2024. More recently, I have been awarded a Horizon Europe MSCA Staff Exchange project, NEXUS, kicked off January 2026 . NEXUS aims to advance research by improving detector performance, refining instrumentation, and broadening theoretical perspectives through a sustainable network of experts. In partnership with world-renowned laboratories in Europe [CNRS research labs(LPSC Grenoble and LS Modane, IP2I Lyon, LP2I Bordeaux, LPNHE Paris, IJCLab Orsay, Subatech Nantes), INFN (LNGS and LNF), LS Canfranc, Boulby UK], the United States (SURF), Canada (SNOLAB), Australia (Melbourne and Adelaide Universities), and South Africa [PAUL project: Stellenbosch University, University of the Western Cape, University of the Witwatersrand and SKAO], NEXUS will tackle exceptional experimental and theoretical challenges to track dark matter, among other subjects of interest in astroparticles.

3- Physics for developpement and gender balance

In my efforts to promote science, technology and know-how for developing countries, I served in the "physics for development" committees of the European Physical Society  and the IUPAP (C13 commission). I co-founded with the French Physics Society, a series of fundamental physics schools for the Maghreb region called EPAM (Advanced physics schools in Maghreb) from 2009 to 2012. I directed the school, which took place in Morocco/Taza. In 2019 and I co-founded the African strategy for fundamental physics and its applications (ASFAP), a pan-African strategy project. In 2020, I was elected « fellow » of the African Academy of Sciences (AAS) . The ASFAP final report has been submitted and will be published by UNESCO in 2026.

My activities in science mediation and outreach are about physics for development and gender balance. In particular, I coordinated the exhibition "La Science taille XXelles" which took place in Grenoble. I founded the association “Parité Science” in the Alps and I was member of the board of administration of the association “Femmes et Sciences” and the EPWS (European Platform for women Scientists).

Languages skills: Algerian and French (native), English (proficiency), Arabic (professional), Swedish and Italian (basic).

Research topics

1988–1991: My PhD in nuclear physics was about  measuring the lifetime of hypernuclei as part of the CERN PS177 experiment. Antiprotons at rest, sourced from the LEAR storage ring (CERN/PS), interact weakly with heavy targets, inducing the fission of these heavy nuclei by transforming a nucleon into a hyperon within one of the two fission fragments. The project aimed to measure the lifetime of these hypernucleus.

1991–1996: I participated in the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) research program involving ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions at CERN (experiments NA38 and NA50);  These experiment found evidence of the deconfinement of quarks and gluons from the charmonium suppression pattern which is a proof of the existence of the QGP state.

1997–1998: I was involved in preparing Phase 2 of the AMS experiment, which entailed constructing a Cherenkov detector for the AMS instrument installed on the ISS. The primary goal of the AMS experiment is the search for antimatter in space. My work is detailed in my habilitation thesis (tel-00001406).

1998–: Member of the ATLAS collaboration on the CERN/LHC. From 1998 to 2008, my research focused on constructing the presampler for the ATLAS electromagnetic calorimeter—a project led by the LPSC. I subsequently participated in feasibility studies using simulations of B-physics. Once data-taking began, I contributed specifically to the search for the Higgs boson in the diphoton channel; the discovery of this particle was announced in 2012. From 2003 to 2013, I served as team leader for the ATLAS Grenoble group. From 2015, I focused on searching for a graviton signal in the diphoton channel (mass > 1 TeV)—as predicted by extra-dimension models—and from 2019, I contributed to data analysis for determining beam luminosity. Concurrently, starting in 2004, I established the LCG-France project (LHC Computing Grid in France), which I coordinated for 10 years.

2015–2018: Coordination of the "P2IM" International Research Network (IRN) with Morocco.

2019-2024: participation to the study and design of the Future Circular Collider (FCC).

2023–present: Shift in research focus: underground laboratory science and the search for rare events (dark matter and neutron background studies).

2023–present: Co-founding an steering the underground laboratory project (PAUL) in South Africa.

2024–2029: Scientific coordination of the IRN PAULINE, a research network with South Africa.

2026–2029: Scientific leader for the NEXUS project (North-South Exchange for Underground Science), a Horizon Europe project bringing together underground laboratories from the Global North and South for the first time to collaborate on dark matter research (17 partners).
