Prof. Dr. Federico Meloni

Research

I lead the Standard Model and Beyond (SMB) team at DESY, which works on the energy and intensity frontiers of particle interactions. My team carries out its experimental work as part of the ATLAS experiment at CERN, the LUXE experiment at DESY and the European Free Electron Laser, and the International Muon Collider Collaboration. The team works on data analysis, quantum computing algorithms, and detector design and construction, and its members are listed on the team page.

Teaching

I enjoy the challenge of communicating the excitement of physics to people who have not yet decided their final path of study and strive to teach widely accessible courses.
Since 2017 I have been lecturing at summer and winter schools, as well as national workshops (ATLAS-D), teaching classes on topics ranging from supersymmetry to statistics, machine learning and quantum computing.
Since 2026, I teach at the Universität Bern.

Dissemination and Outreach

I am disseminating our research to experts at national and international conferences and seminars, but also to the general public at various outreach events.
