(High School) Experimental Particle Physics - Exploring cosmic rays from the comfort of your living room
Welcome to an exciting journey into the enigmatic world of cosmic rays! This high school-level course is designed to introduce you to the captivating realm of cosmic rays, particles which travel vast distances through the cosmos before reaching earth. This course blends hands-on data analysis with a comprehensive understanding of the theory behind these high-energy particles.
Throughout this course, you'll delve into the mysteries of cosmic rays, investigating their origins, detection, and interactions with our atmosphere. Engage in practical experiments and data analysis using real cosmic ray data collected from ground-based detectors, unraveling the patterns and characteristics of these elusive particles.
The curriculum is divided in a balanced way between theoretical knowledge and practical application. You'll explore fundamental physics concepts essential to understanding cosmic rays, including particle interactions, (very basic) relativity, quantum mechanics, and astrophysics. Lectures, discussions, and interactive sessions will deepen your understanding of these theoretical foundations and their relevance to cosmic ray research.
Do not panic! All the theory is presented in a very engaging way, adapted to the technical level to each student.
Key Topics:
* Introduction to Cosmic Rays: Origins, Composition, and Detection Methods
* Introduction to particle physics detection techniques (with real particle detector examples)
* Data Collection and Analysis (python or C/C++): Hands-on Experience with Real Cosmic Ray Data
* Astrophysical Implications: Cosmic Rays and the Universe
* Advanced Topics (for the very enthusiastic): Cosmic ray astrophysics and state-of-the-art detectors used currently in the research world.
Class Format:
In the basic variant, this course will blend theory lectures with computer-based data analysis. For the very enthusiastic students, there is also a possibility to build their own particle detector.
Assessment:
Assessment will be based on a combination of individual and group projects, quizzes, data analysis reports, and a final presentation or research paper that showcases your understanding of cosmic rays, both theoretically and practically.
Prerequisites:
Curiosity! The only pre-requisite for this course is the curiosity of how our universe works, and what can we do as humans to understand it as much as possible!
Join me on this cosmic adventure, where theoretical exploration meets empirical investigation, and together, let's unravel the secrets of these cosmic messengers!

About Me
Currently I am a full time researcher in experimental particle physics, based at the university of Geneva, CH. I love particles and especially I love to explore different methods trough which we can detect them.During my continuous education I designed and constructed tens of detectors, passing my knowledge to students with various backgrounds: from pharmacy/business to highly specialised physics master/Ph.D. student.
I love to talk about research and the universe itself, and I consider that the only moment when research reaches its goal is when knowledge is successfully passed towards the younger generations.
During my career I have been based (and still am) at several world leading institutes, including CERN and the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI).
Outside research, my life revolves around cycling and mountain biking, having obtained the title of national champion at amateur level in my country.
Education
BSc/MSci -> University of Birmingham, UK:Here I obtained the title of master in particle phyiscs and cosmology. My masters project involved acquiring data in a more efficient way at one of the biggest experiments from CERN: NA62.
Ph.D -> University of Geneva, CH.
Based in the particle physics (neutrino) group, here I designed, constructed, and analsed the data of a novel particle detector with improved resolution.
Experience / Qualifications
Teaching -> 6 yearsGuided tours for physics experiments- > 5 years
Data analysis -> 8 years
Physics -> 10 years
Data acquisition -> 4 years
Coding -> 8 years.

Private lessons in mathematics - physics - chemistryStudent in scientific preparatory class at the lycée du Parc, for several years giving private lessons in math, physics and chemistry, I realized how nice helping students in the field of education was. This is why I offer you my help in these subjects throughout the summer at flexible hours.
From small classes to high school, I will be able to adapt specifically to the needs of each student, in particular by writing myself exercise subjects that best correspond to the skills of each student as well as those expected from the program.
I apply myself during each course to establish a rigor necessary for the success of the students as well as to develop a scientific curiosity so as to allow the students to progress autonomously thereafter.
In this particular situation of health crisis, many students were unable to work in conditions as pleasant as desired. I will of course adapt to everyone's situations (face-to-face or by videoconference / virtual board) during this summer so that each student can find a level corresponding to the expectations of the program for next year.
Remaining at your disposal for further information.

Preparation for TU Delft Aerospace Engineering entrance exam80% of my students got accepted in the 2025 exam, I am sure you I can help you out in the 2026 exam!
TU Delft is Europe's most prestigious university for aerospace studies, preparing some of the best engineers. However the selection procedure is tough and demanding, and only those prepared have a chance to succeed.
As a TU Delft student, I know from first hand how stressfull this process is, and can therefore help you succeed in the preparation of these exams. I have previous experience as a tutor back in high school, helping students improve their grades from Cs to As.
Moreover, I have an extensive knowledge on the subjects tested on these exams, having taken them myself and having completed the courses at university with excellent grades.
Throughout the class, I will use a presentation to explain the main concepts of each exam (Maths, Physics and Aerospace Engineering), focusing on those subjects the student is struggling with most. After this, I will help the student complete some practice excercises, and then assign extra practice to complete on their own time. These exercises will then be reviewed in the following class to ensure the topics have been understood.
I am looking forward to help you in your journey as an aerospace engineer!
