Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIrene Zoi is an Application Physicist with nine years of experience in high-energy particle physics, currently working at Fermilab on the CMS experiment and the Phase-2 Outer Tracker upgrade. She blends hands-on detector R&D—specializing in silicon pixel and strip sensor testing, calibration, and QA—with statistical searches for new physics, including multivariate maximum-likelihood analyses and EFT-based VBS studies. Her work spans lab measurements, test beams, and production-readiness problem solving, and she has contributed backend automation for MC generator card production used in common CMS workflows. Comfortable in international collaborations, she pairs deep instrumentation expertise with data-analysis rigor and a curiosity for languages and team sports that keeps her adaptable and communicative.
