Elena Dall'Occo
Elena is a particle physicist at TU Dortmund. She currently works on luminosity and beam induced backgrounds, from the methodology to the design and operation of dedicated detectors. She also looks for very rare decays of beauty mesons. Whenever possible she hops on a plane ready for the next trip.
Anja Beck
Anja is a PhD student at the University of Warwick in the UK. Most of the time, she works on rare radiative and electroweak penguin decays of b-baryons. But she also studies new detectors for the possible Future Circular Collider and helps to prepare the LHCb Vertex Locator for the restart of the LHC this spring. When Anja takes time off physics, she learns new languages and takes selfies with actual penguins.
Janina Nicolini
Janina Nicolini is a PhD student at TU Dortmund University and Université Paris-Saclay. Her research is focused on the analysis of rare b baryon decays. In addition, she is also helping with the assembly of the Scintillating Fibre Tracker at CERN. Due to her passion for physics, she dedicates some of her free time to outreach activities. If she is not working on physics related topics, she is usually capturing her experiences with her camera.
Violaine Bellee
Violaine is a particle physicist at University of Zürich in Switzerland. She works mainly on the Upstream Tracker, a new LHCb sub-detector to be installed in the cavern this year. At the same time, she is also involved in the development of the next generation of tracking detectors, namely the LHCb 'Mighty Tracker' to be installed starting in 2025. She also loves discussing physics and painting.
María Vieites Díaz
María works as a post-doc at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. She is a particle physicist working on data analysis, focusing on amplitude analysis in Radiative B decays, and on alignment-related tasks for the SciFi, the fibre tracker that is currently being installed in LHCb. She has recently got involved in occupancy studies for the Mighty Tracker, which is to be next generation tracker that could replace the SciFi in the future. She loves sailing and hiking and is a board-game enthusiast.
