Experimental Nuclear Physicist
Niveditha Ram
I am a CNRS researcher at IP2I Lyon working in experimental particle and nuclear physics. My research spans detector development and physics analysis, with current work in the ALICE experiment at the LHC.
Currently
I work with the ALICE collaboration on ultra-peripheral collisions and forward-muon measurements, and on performance and calibration of the Muon Forward Tracker. Before joining CNRS, I worked with CLAS12 and ePIC at CEA Saclay, and with PHENIX and sPHENIX during my PhD at Stony Brook University.
I am also a Professor of Practice at SASTRA University, where I teach courses in nuclear technologies.
