Summary:

English:

I obtained a BSc in Physics in 1986 at the University of Science and Technologies at Algiers. I moved to France in October 1987, where I obtained an MSc in Nuclear Physics.

I have been awarded a PhD in nuclear and particle physics from the University of Grenoble in 1990 and I am currently a research director at CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, France), physicist in the experimental field of nuclear physics, particle physics and cosmology. I work at CERN (European Organization for Particle Physics)[i] on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and I am a member of the ATLAS experiment[ii]. I contributed to the major discovery of this century in particle physics, the Higgs boson[iii]. Before that, 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[iv]. I was also a member of a NASA space experiment, AMS, for the search for antimatter in space[v]. My work has been carried out in international collaborations with a strong interdisciplinary, combining fundamental physics, instrumentation and scientific computing. I held positions of coordination, as team leader (Grenoble LPSC) for the ATLAS collaboration and scientific manager of the National LHC Grid infrastructure (LCG-France)[vi] but also internationally (WLCG), leading also the international research network IRN-P2IM[vii]. During that period, I have been member of the EU PF7/EUMEDGRID-Support project and was its France representative. Within this framework led by Italy, I participated to the collaborations with the Mediterranean basin countries, helping them to get skills and expertise in Grid computing. I am participating in the work to develop a strategic plan for France participation in the project for a future circular collider of 100 km in circumference and 100 TeV of energy, the FCC[viii]. I lead WADAPT-France, French part of the WADAPT (Wireless Allowing Data and Power Transfer) consortium[ix], which studies wireless multi-gigabit data transfer for high-energy physics applications.

In 2022 I launched  a collaborative project on a future underground laboratory in Africa, based on an existing proposal[x]. PAUL project[xi] is now a real project with seed-funding to explore its feasibility inside the Huguenot Tunnel in the Cape Town region, South Africa.

I supervised the PhD work of seven doctoral students and more than twenty research internships, from Bachelor to Master studies. I have brought my expertise to the evaluation of European Commission projects, within the framework of Horizon 2020 and more recently to Horizon Europe. On the other hand, I was invited by the RSIF[xii] to assess Master's and doctoral school programs in West Africa. I was member of the publications committee of the ATLAS experiment and I am currently chief-editor of the JAIS journal (Journal for Advanced Instrumentation in Science, Andromeda Publishing, UK)[xiii].

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 (EPS)[xiv] and the IUPAP (C13)[xv]. I co-founded with the SFP (French Physics Society)[xvi], a series of fundamental physics schools for the Maghreb region called EPAM, four schools from 2009 to 2012. I directed the school, which took place in Morocco/Taza[xvii] . In 2019, I co-founded the African strategy for fundamental physics and its applications (ASFAP)[xviii], a pan-African strategy project in physics, similar to the European strategy for particle physics or Snowmass (USA). I am participating in the work of the ASI committee (African Synchrotron Initiative)[xix], a Think-Tank mandated by the African Academy of Sciences (AAS)[xx] and the African Union (AU) in charge of creating a favourable environment for the implementation of the future African Synchrotron.

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[xxi] . I founded the association “Parité Science” in the Alps[xxii] and I am member of the board of administration of the association “Femmes et Sciences”[xxiii] and the EPWS (European Platform for women Scientists)[xxiv].

Français:

J’ai été recrutée au CNRS en 1991 après une année en ATER à l’université Grenoble-Alpes. Je suis actuellement directrice de recherches au CNRS et je travaille principalement sur l’expérience ATLAS au CERN.

Depuis 2019, je participe aux travaux d’élaboration d’un plan stratégique pour la participation de la France au projet de futur collisionneur circulaire de 100 Km de circonférence et de 100 TeV d’énergie, le FCC. La collecte des données dans la zone en masse du boson « Z » fournira la sensibilité indirecte la plus élevée jamais réalisée à la nouvelle physique via une mesure de précision des observables électrofaibles et un riche programme de mesures du secteur des saveurs, qui seront compétitifs par rapport aux mesures du LHC.

Je pilote depuis 2021, le projet WADAPT-France, partie Française d’un consortium international (WADAPT, ECFA-DRD7.1) qui étudie le transfert de données sans fil pour les applications de physique des hautes énergies, permettant ainsi un transfert rapide du signal et un partitionnement efficace des détecteurs dans les régions topologiques d'intérêt. L'impact des installations de câbles massives, et donc du matériel mort, sur la qualité des mesures et des coûts pourrait être réduit. L’idée serait de généraliser l’utilisation de la lecture sans fil à nos détecteurs, avec la possibilité d’ajouter une intelligence pour effectuer une reconstruction quadridimensionnelle des traces et des vertex.

En 2022, année de ma visite en Afrique du Sud à l’occasion d’une conférence donnée à Cape Town, j’ai initié une collaboration autour d’un projet de laboratoire souterrain en Afrique du Sud, « PAUL » pour Paarl South Africa Underground Laboratory. Les perspectives scientifiques sont larges. Si le but principal est la physique des astroparticules avec la recherche de matière noire, d’autres disciplines qui s’intéressent aux travaux et recherches dans des laboratoires souterrains, tels que les rayonnements (pour le médical), la géologie (sismologie) ou la muographie sont considérés. Il y a plusieurs intérêts à la mise en route de cette initiative : tout d’abord l’émergence d’une communauté scientifique autour des activités de recherche en laboratoire souterrain en Afrique et le renforcement des collaborations scientifiques intra-africaines. L’autre intérêt, pour la France et le CNRS, est de renforcer le lien avec l’Afrique; construire de nouvelles collaborations pour le laboratoire LSM-Modane ; former une nouvelle génération d’africains à la discipline de physique des particules et astroparticules et renforcer le rôle du LSM dans la communauté internationale des laboratoires souterrains. En 2024, lors du symposium que j’ai co-organisé en Afrique du Sud, le projet PAUL a été inauguré officiellement par les collaborateurs, les universités et le ministère de la recherche. Un budget de 250 k€ a été attribué par le département des Sciences et de l’Innovation d’Afrique du Sud (DSI) pour démarrer les études de faisabilité de ce futur laboratoire. D’autre part, j’ai déposé une demande d’un IRN auprès du CNRS. Ce projet, PAULINE, groupement de recherches international pour la mise en place, l’étude et le design du laboratoire souterrain PAUL en Afrique du Sud, a été validé et a démarré en 2024 avec le soutien de l’IN2P3.

Entre 2017 et 2023, j’ai apporté mon expertise à la commission européenne, dans le cadre Horizon 2020 et Horizon Europe, pour l’évaluation des projets « MSCA-Staff Exchange », « Personal Fellowship » et « Radar Innovation ». En 2021, j’ai évalué les programmes d’école doctorales en Afrique de l’Ouest pour le RSIF. En 2023, j’apporte mon savoir-faire dans l’expertise des projets du Fonds d'innovation 2023 de la Fondation canadienne pour l'innovation (FCI). En 2024, je suis sollicitée par la commission Européenne pour l’expertise des projets Pathfinder Open - Horizon.

J’ai cofondé en 2019, la stratégie Africaine pour la physique fondamentale et ses applications ASFAP,  un projet panafricain de prospectives en physique, soutenu par l’IUPAP et qui se poursuit jusqu’à fin 2024. En 2020, je suis élue « fellow » de l’Académie Africaine des Sciences (AAS).

J’ai participé régulièrement à la fête de la Science, aux portes ouvertes du laboratoire et beaucoup d’autres évènements de vulgarisation et de promotion de la science auprès du public, des écoles et des institutions. J’ai, en particulier, piloté entre 2021 et 2024  l’exposition  « La Science taille XXelles » à Grenoble  pour le compte du CNRS et l’association nationale « Femmes et Science ».  Cette exposition valorise, notamment auprès des jeunes, le parcours et les métiers de femmes qui font la science d'aujourd'hui.
