Maurice Garcia-Sciveres

Bio:

Maurice Garcia-Sciveres received his PhD from Cornell in 1994 for the measurement of Vcb in the CLEO e+e- collider experiment. He was a postdoc, then scientist, and now senior scientist at LBNL, where he worked on the CDF and ATLAS experiments. He focused on development of readout integrated circuits for silicon vertex detectors, and was recognized for his contributions in this area with an APS fellowship in 2015. In 2013 he co-founded the CERN RD53 collaboration to develop pixel detector readout chips for ATLAS and CMS, and has served as co-spokesperson since. Since 2018 he has been PI for the LBNL Quantum Information Science Enabled Discovery (QuantISED) program of DOE and increasingly worked on instrumentation for low mass dark matter direct detection.
