Cristian Andrei is a physicist from Bucharest NIPNE. He is a specialist in pion, kaon, and proton production in high-multiplicity pp events, studying the dependence of their production as a function of charged-particle multiplicity and event shape. He is an active member of the PWG-LF, has made significant contributions, and has been a member of several analysis and paper review committees (ARC, IRC). Cristian has substantial experience in data taking and ALICE operation at P2. Since 2016, he has taken up all central shifter positions repeatedly: ECS, DCS, QC, and SL. He has experience in operating ALICE during the previous heavy-ion run period and took several RM terms in the past. Since 2025, he is also the ALICE Training Coordinator.
During his mandate, Cristian will concentrate on the restart of Global data taking after the EYETS, especially the collection of COSMIC data for alignment. He will follow the preparation test for the handshake, magnet powering, and finalization of the commissioning phase.
