ESCAPE - The European Science Cluster of Astronomy & Particle Physics ESFRI Research Infrastructures has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement no. 824064.
Caterina is a professor at the University of Manchester (joint with Lund University), and a member of the ATLAS Collaboration at the LHC. She searches for new physics phenomena that can be produced in proton-proton collisions, motivated by the presence of dark matter in our universe. Caterina works on the REALDARK (previously: DARKJETS) ERC project together with post-doctoral researchers and students, looking to understand the nature of dark matter and discover dark sectors. She is particularly interested in how different dark matter experiments can complement each other towards a discovery. I also coordinate the SMARTHEP network on real-time analysis, machine learning and hybrid computing infrastructures.
