 | Mike Anderson Born in Wisconsin and raised in Pueblo, Colorado, I'm now a fifth-year graduate student working towards my PhD in particle physics. I'm involved with the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector located outside Cessy, France. The few months of the year I spend living in the French countryside for CMS are rather pleasant (and cheaper than if I stayed in Switzerland).

 | Regina Caputo I am a graduate student from SUNY Stony Brook working on the ATLAS experiment. I've been living near CERN for the past nine months. I spend my days working on the Liquid Argon Calorimeter. When I'm not working, I enjoy tennis, biking, hiking, skiing, traveling, eating cheese, drinking wine, and keeping up with U.S. tabloids and TV. I was born and raised in Pueblo, Colorado.

I am a postdoc working with the CMS group at Boston University. I am based at CERN, where I serve as high-level trigger expert for the trigger studies group and am part of the exotica physics group. I was born in the volcanic highlands of Ecuador, attended the National Politechnic School in Quito for undergrad, and received my Ph.D. from Florida State University in 2008.

I am a Physics Associate at Brookhaven National Laboratory, stationed at CERN since 2005. My main occupations are the maintenance and monitoring of power supplies for the ATLAS Liquid Argon Calorimeter and the development of the ATLAS High-Level Calorimeter Trigger software for electrons and photons. I live in France with my wife Paula and son Lucca.

I am a 5th year graduate student, and I've been living in Geneva for the last two and a half years, working on ATLAS at CERN. I am a student at Caltech, and for the last three and a half years, I've been working on ATLAS for the Columbia University group. Most of the work I've done on ATLAS has been on the simulation software.

 | Flip Tanedo I'm a graduate student in theoretical particle physics at Cornell University. My research focuses on physics "beyond the Standard Model," such as supersymmetry and extra dimensions, and how such physics might manifest itself at the LHC.

 | Seth Zenz I am a graduate student at the University of California, working with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory group on the ATLAS experiment and living in Geneva, Switzerland. My major focus at the moment is on testing the experiment's offline software and preparing to write my Ph.D. thesis. In my spare time, I have taught math and physics to inmates and an hour-long gravity lesson to second-graders.
