Head of Communication and CERN's spokesman Coming from Switzerland Working at CERN
Bio
I'm Head of Communication at CERN, home of the world's most ambitious scientific project, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The LHC circulated its first particle beams last year on 10 September, and we invited the world to watch. Right now, it's off-line, but we'll be restarting in September, and we're looking forward to new physics results for 2010 - changing the way we understand the Universe. Another of CERN's claims to fame is that it's here 20 years ago that Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. In 2000, I published a book with Robert Cailliau, Tim's first partner on the Web project, giving a history of the internet seen through CERN eyes. The fact that the Web was invented at CERN "is no accident".
