THE OXBRIDGE HUB OF CAMPANIA
Luigi Marchese - Campania Regional Director
I am a physicist, lecturer and science communicator working at ETH Zürich with the CMS Collaboration at CERN. In CMS I contribute to data-taking operations and I analyse data looking for possible hints of new physics, not predicted in our current theoretical model. In Zürich I teach particle physics and electronics in the physics laboratories.
In 2019 I obtained my DPhil in Particle Physics at the University of Oxford and St Catherine’s College, analysing data collected by the ATLAS experiment at CERN. For my DPhil research I studied some properties of the Higgs boson, a special particle discovered at CERN in 2012. This particle played a key role in the evolution of the Universe right after the Big Bang, when all the other known particles got their mass by interacting with the Higgs field.
Before moving to Oxford, I lived in the States for a couple of years, working at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory on the production of another fundamental particle, the “charm” quark, and working in the field of gravitational waves at the California Institute of Technology with the LIGO Collaboration.
Besides science, I enjoy telling people more about my research in physics, especially young students. I like to see their enthusiasm when I tell them about the Higgs particle or black holes. From time to time, I collaborate with Italian high schools on multicultural projects. In my free time, you can find me searching for the Northern lights in Iceland, lost in the Amazon rainforest or joining an archaeological tour somewhere in the world.
