Heather Gray is an associate professor for particle physics at UC Berkeley and the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. She is also a member of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Her research focuses on machine learning and quantum computing in high-energy physics, especially to investigate the properties of the Higgs boson.

Physics has taken her around the world: She grew up and studied in South Africa, did her PhD in the US and worked at CERN in Geneva before becoming a research fellow and subsequently a professor at Berkeley.

On Monday, 11/05, and Tuesday, 12/05, she will be visiting our university. We would also like to invite you to her colloquium [1] of the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics on Tuesday at 16:30 in the castle in B302, with cookies served at 16:00.
