معرفی
Ingrid-Maria Gregor serves as Lead Scientist at DESY with a joint professorship in detector physics at Universität Bonn. She leads the DESY ATLAS Group, one of the largest contributors to the international ATLAS collaboration at CERN's LHC, and chairs DESY's Scientific Committee advising on strategic research directions.
Her research centers on particle physics detector development, specializing in silicon tracking systems for high-energy experiments. She has driven critical upgrades for the ATLAS experiment including the High-Luminosity LHC endcap tracker, pioneered high-resolution pixel beam telescopes used globally at DESY/CERN/SLAC test facilities, and advances R&D for next-generation thinner/faster pixel detectors with superior spatial resolution.

Gregor holds leadership roles including DESY Scientific Committee Chair (2020-present) and ATLAS Group Leader (2015-present), with prior responsibilities as ATLAS strip detector upgrade project leader (2013-2017) and coordinator for ZEUS calorimeter/HERMES Recoil Detector systems. Her career spans major collaborations at CERN (DELPHI, ATLAS) and DESY (HERMES, ZEUS, HERA).
She directs DESY's test beam program and EU-funded detector R&D initiatives while overseeing the production of silicon tracking components for LHC upgrades. Her laboratory work focuses on advancing pixel detector technology for future colliders through precision instrumentation and radiation-hard sensor development.
