Summary
Kārlis Dreimanis is an Associate Professor and Director of the Institute of Particle Physics and Accelerator Technologies at Riga Technical University with 11 years of experience in experimental high-energy physics. He leads the CMS Latvia Group at CERN and combines hands-on detector work—developing testing and QA for silicon pixel sensors—with precision measurements in electroweak and top-quark physics. His research spans both high-momentum precision analyses and the understudied soft, low-energy collision regime, giving him a rare dual perspective on LHC phenomenology. He has steered trigger development and served as a liaison between tools and physics working groups during critical run-ups, demonstrating skill in translating technical systems into physics-ready data. Comfortable in leadership and collaborative roles, he has built and coordinated multi-institution projects from test beams to parts databases. Based in Saint-Genis-Pouilly, he pairs academic mentorship with active international experimental stewardship at CERN.
