Biography

Gabriel Facini has made significant contributions to the search for new particles through foundational work in high-energy physics experiments at DZero (Tevatron, Fermilab) and ATLAS (Large Hadron Collider, CERN). He has developed substantial expertise in experimental techniques including charged particle and jet reconstruction, triggering, advanced statistical analysis, and machine learning techniques. Facini has had direct responsibility for operating key components of the trigger system at DZero and the hadronic calorimeter at ATLAS, playing a crucial role in searches for the Higgs boson. His research has focused particularly on the energy frontier and the decay of long-lived particles. Facini has held prominent leadership roles within the ATLAS program, especially during the exciting onset of Run 2, where he led a large team, contributed to detector commissioning, and spearheaded new analyses. His leadership extended to search groups specializing in charged particle reconstruction, which are integral to the physics program at the energy frontier, establishing a robust program in tracking.
