Summary
Vieri Candelise is an Associate Professor and experimental particle physicist with 12 years of research experience on the CMS experiment at CERN, combining deep expertise in collider physics with a strong academic teaching portfolio at the University of Trieste. His work spans precision measurements of vector bosons and heavy-flavor production to advanced models for new physics searches, informed by long-term hands-on involvement at CERN and international postdoctoral positions. He regularly teaches introductory and advanced courses across physics and engineering faculties, mentoring students from undergraduate labs to PhD-level collider analyses. Based in Trieste but frequently working in Geneva, he bridges frontier experimental research and university instruction, translating complex LHC results into teachable insights. A summa cum laude graduate from Sapienza and PhD-trained in high-energy physics, he brings both rigorous analytic skill and practical detector experience to collaborative, large-scale scientific projects.
