Sara is a PhD student at the Czech Technical University in Prague. Her research focuses on ultra-peripheral collisions, particularly the photoproduction of the J/ψ meson. In the past, she has participated in operations at Point 2 in central roles and, for part of last year, served as the SRC for the Muon Forward Tracker. This is her first Run Manager mandate.
During the current mandate, Sara will oversee the final phase of the 2026 pp production period, during which ALICE will proceed with data taking at 500 kHz with negative/negative magnet polarities, along with high-rate tests for the TPC.
