Stefano Mersi is an applied physicist with 18 years of hands-on experience developing and operating real-time data acquisition systems for the CMS experiment at CERN. He combines deep detector R&D and construction expertise—particularly with silicon trackers—with strong skills in object-oriented programming, database management, and deployment of mission-critical projects. At CERN since 2011 (and a Data Acquisition fellow before that), he has led teams tuning detector performance and integrating complex hardware-software systems under tight operational constraints. His background spans the full detector lifecycle from design and quality assurance to in-situ performance optimization, and he brings practical experience translating lab R&D into reliable, maintainable production systems. Based in Vernier, Geneva, he pairs academic rigour (PhD in Elementary Particle Physics) with pragmatic engineering that keeps one of the world’s largest physics experiments running smoothly.
