 | Andrew Adare I'm a postdoctoral researcher in the department of physics at Yale University. I live in France and work on the ALICE collaboration at CERN. The ALICE experiment examines nuclear collisions to explore an extreme phase of nuclear matter called "quark-gluon plasma" that is thought to resemble the universe in its earliest moments.

 | Ken Bloom I am an assistant professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, involved with the CMS experiment at the LHC and the DØ experiment at Fermilab. Since 2005 I have been the project manager for the 7 US CMS Tier-2 computing sites, and I also co-lead a working group at Fermilab's LHC Physics Center.

 | Sarah Demers I am an assistant professor of physics at Yale University, and I work on the ATLAS experiment at CERN. I am particularly interested in using the signature of one of the standard model particles, the tau lepton, as a probe for new physics. I am also involved in the “trigger” for the experiment.

 | Burton DeWilde I am a graduate student at Stony Brook University, working on the ATLAS experiment and residing within eyeshot of CERN in Saint-Genis-Pouilly, France. I'm involved in R&D for the upgrade to ATLAS' pixel detector, and in an exotics search for second-generation scalar leptoquarks. I grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

 | Brian Dorney I'm a graduate student at the Florida Institute of Technology studying high-energy physics (HEP). I take part in the CMS collaboration’s B-Physics Group studying a theory called perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (pOCD). This theory has had great success at predicting the experimental results seen at the Tevatron and other colliders.

 | Robin Erbacher I'm a professor of physics at the University of California, Davis. I work on both the CMS experiment at the LHC, and the CDF experiment at Fermilab's Tevatron. My recent interests have centered around searching for new signals of physics, which could indicate the existence of particles or forces that have never been seen before, by studying the production and properties of top quarks.

 | Anna Phan I'm a postdoctoral researcher working on the LHCb experiment. I'm based at CERN and employed by Syracuse University, the only US institute in the collaboration. I'd always enjoyed maths and science in primary school, but developed a strong interest in computers and programming in high school. I actually decided to take programming instead of physics in my final year!

 | Aidan Randle-Conde I'm a postdoc working on the ATLAS experiment. I'm based full-time at CERN and employed by Southern Methodist University. Although I work for a US institute, I'm actually British and gained my undergraduate degree at Oxford. I then studied as a graduate student at Brunel University in London, and from there I moved to California to take part in research at SLAC National Laboratory.

 | Michael Schmitt I have been a professor at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, since 2000. At the time, I was a member of the CDF collaboration hoping to find the Higgs boson and to do some physics with W and Z bosons. More recently, however, my research is entirely focused on CMS, where I co-lead the Electroweak Physics Group.

 | 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.

 | Matthew Tamsett I was born in 1984 in Kent in the southeast of England. Science and maths were always my favourite subjects, and, fairly predictably given where this biography is being published, physics was the one that interested me the most. I've always enjoyed the way experiments deal with matters much smaller and more fundamental than the other sciences, yet at the same time, much larger and of grander scope.
