Minjung is an experimental research fellow at CERN, following a postdoctoral position at UC Berkeley and a PhD from Heidelberg University. Her research focuses on hard probes in small systems, including ultra-peripheral collisions. She has extensive hardware experience across several major projects, including conducting mass production tests for ALPIDE chips for the ITS, managing high-voltage operations and repairs for the TRD during Long Shutdown 2, and developing tracking software for the EPIC detector at the EIC (BNL).
She also has extensive experience in operations, having completed her first RM term in 2024. During the current term, she will coordinate pp data taking, during which a scan of the collision rate - requested by the lumi group - is scheduled, as well as the transition to the negative/negative magnet polarity configuration after the VdM.
