The Scientific Advisory Committee of EPJ is delighted to welcome Professor Silvia Masciocchi, as the new representative for the German Physical Society.

Silvia Masciocchi is a professor of physics at Heidelberg University and the head of the ALICE department at GSI Helmholtz Center for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt, Germany. Her research focuses on exploring strongly interacting matter under extreme conditions, such as those created in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. These phenomena are studied in ALICE, one of the four major experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. Additionally, she is actively engaged in research and development (R&D) of advanced particle detection technologies, with a particular emphasis on semiconductor pixel sensors designed for high-precision position measurements.
