International Speakers

Achille Stocchi is the director of IJCLab (Irène Joliot-Curie Laboratory) on the Orsay Campus of the University Paris-Saclay. He is professor at University Paris-Saclay and researcher in particle physics.  He worked on several high energy experiments at CERN (Switzerland) at SLAC (USA) and LNF-Frascati (Italy), leading working groups, leading several master students, doctoral theses and post-doctoral students and having managerial positions (spokeperson, physics coordinator…) in the experiments.

He signed papers of DELPHI, BaBar, SuperB , UA9 and LHCb experiments (over 1000) and about fifty research papers or individual or on small group on detectors, data analysis and phenomenology (founding also the UTFit Collaboration). He has often presented the results of the work at international conferences and seminars (about 100).

He created the biannual Workshop CKM in 2002, co-created the TESHEP annual school in 2007 and co-created in 2016 the WISHEPP annual school in Palestine with An-Najah National University.

Walid Kaabi is a Research Engineer at the Irène Joliot-Curie Laboratory (IJCLab), a mixed unit of National Center of Scientific Research (CNRS) and University Paris-Saclay. He is the deputy-director of the Accelerator Physics Department. Its expertise in physics and accelerator technology domain is recognized, notably since he managed the output of 800 power couplers for future machine XFEL (DESY, Germany).

In 2015, he was awarded the Jean-Louis Laclare price of the French Physical Society-Accelerator division intended for the young researcher.

Currently, he is coordinating an international collaboration around the project PERLE, based on the promising accelerator technology of Energy Recovering Linac (ERL).

Philippe Laniece is a researcher in biomedical physics at IJClab (CNRS/University of Paris/University of Paris Saclay) on the Orsay campus. His research works are focused on the development of nuclear instrumentation dedicated to neurobiological applications.

Among the different developments he participated, he managed projects dedicated to small animal imaging: a high resolution radioimager (RIHR) adapted to high sensitive and high resolution autoradiography and the development of radiosensitive telemetric pixellated intracerebral probes (SIC, PIXSIC and MAPSSIC) dedicated to behavioral neuroimaging.

During his career, he acquired a strong knowledge in the field of charged particles and low light levels detection, while obtaining a progressive background in the field of molecular biology, pharmacology and neurobiology. His interdisciplinary profile led him to manage from 2015 to 2019 the IMNC laboratory (imaging and modeling in neurobiology and cancerology) at Orsay and since 2020, he is the manager of the health pole at IJClab.

Frederico Garrido is Professor of Materials Chemistry at the Université Paris-Saclay and IJCLab, Orsay Campus, France. He is Associate Scientific Director of the Pole Energy & Environment at IJCLab.

He is an expert in the interaction of energetic particles with matter, radiation damage physics and ion beam analysis (IBA),  especially applied to nuclear tolerant ceramic materials used as transmutation and immobilization matrices.

He is member of international advisory committee of major international conferences in the field of Ion beam modification of materials and Ion Beam Analysis. He has co-authored over 130 scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals and he trained  numerous PhD students. He became a recipient of the Bronze Medal of the French National Centre for Scientific Research. In addition he was the Director of the Master Nuclear Energy, which is run by the Paris-Saclay University, during the last 10 years.
