Senior🎓
Top SchoolDouglas Berry is a Fermilab scientist with 11 years of experience leading silicon tracking detector development and high-stakes instrumentation projects for the CMS experiment at the LHC. He currently oversees the Flat TBPS construction and coordinates the international MaPSA production effort, combining hands-on hardware integration, QA, procurement, and vendor management to ensure performance in extreme radiation environments. Parallel to his instrumentation leadership, he is principal investigator of a monotop dark matter search, having designed analysis strategies, defined signal/control regions, and led a multi-institution team through full Run II data. His career bridges experiment operations—contributing to Higgs discovery efforts and ECAL radiation studies—with detector upgrade program delivery, and he earned a CMS Achievement Award for critical module recovery and QA work. Notably, he brings both deep technical expertise in silicon detectors and proven project-level coordination across global collaborations.
