Farid Ould-Saada is a Professor of High Energy Physics at the Department of Physics, University of Oslo, Norway, since 1999. He serves as Norwegian representative to ECFA (2024–present), former leader of Norwegian CERN-related High Energy Particle Physics (2006–2019), and current Particle Physics leader in NorCC (2020–present). As ATLAS Collaboration Oslo Team Leader and National Contact Physicist, he holds key roles in the International Computing Board and IPPOG Masterclasses Steering Committee.
His academic background includes:
- 1978–1982: DES in Theoretical Physics, University of Tizi-Ouzou, Algeria
- 1982–1983: DEA in Nuclear and Particle Physics, University of Orsay, France
- 1983–1986: PhD in Particle Physics, CEN Saclay, France
Research focuses on ATLAS at LHC, exploring Beyond Standard Model phenomena including Supersymmetry (Higgs sector), Dark Matter, New Gauge Bosons (W'/Z'), Extra Dimensions, Heavy Neutrinos, and Astroparticle Physics. He pioneers Distributed Grid Computing applications and Physics Education outreach through IPPOG and ZPATH initiatives.
Professor Ould-Saada has supervised 9 PhD students (e.g., Pajchel 2010, Føll 2027) and over 25 Master’s students. His research is funded through leadership in EuroNuNet, NorLHC (Enabling LHC Physics at Extreme Collision Rates), NorduGrid, NGIn, EMI, and ARC4eInfrastructures projects.
He chairs the NorduGrid Collaboration Board and leads computing efforts in NorLHC-I/II, driving ATLAS data analysis infrastructure and educational initiatives like the Olav Thon project (2017–2022).
