Who We Are

The names on the work

One group in two laboratories: NIPS at UFJF, in Brazil, and Route Salam at CERN, in Switzerland. The figure drawn around this heading is its published record, every author joined to everyone they signed with.

Our Mission

To bring engineering, software, particle physics and logic together into concrete tools, architectures and systems that scientific research can actually use, and to prepare the next generation of scientists by putting undergraduates inside real experiments alongside CERN researchers.

What defines NIPS-CERN is where its undergraduates work. They are inside real CERN experiments, on active physics analyses and detector instrumentation, next to international researchers.

Facilities

UFJF Laboratory Infrastructure at CERN

The group works from two laboratories: NIPS at UFJF, in Brazil, and this one at CERN, in Switzerland, where UFJF researchers contribute directly to the ATLAS experiment.

Formerly LAPTEL. The Brazilian laboratory has carried three names. It began as LAPTEL, the Signal Processing and Telecommunications Laboratory; became NIPS, the Centre for Instrumentation and Signal Processing; and took the name NIPS-CERN when the CERN collaboration was formalised and the group gained its second laboratory, at Route Salam in Meyrin. In Brazil the group works from the PPEE building, home of the Graduate Program in Electrical Engineering at UFJF.
