معرفی
Johan Alme is a Professor of Microelectronics at the Department of Physics and Technology, University of Bergen. He leads research on instrumentation for the ALICE experiment at CERN, focusing on detector design for the Forward Calorimeter (FoCal) and Inner Tracking System (ITS3). As program chair in physics, he drives curriculum reforms integrating programming into bachelor's courses and oversees initiatives like the Physics Room for active learning. He coordinates the UiB-led Proton CT project, developing medical imaging technology using CERN-derived sensors. As NORLHC-II project leader, he manages Norwegian contributions to CERN's detector and computing infrastructure.
His research spans high-energy physics instrumentation, FPGA-based electronics, and technology transfer to medicine. Notable projects include FoCal's pixel layer readout systems, flexible sensors for ITS3, and proton CT's power management. Alme chairs conferences like TWEPP and NorCAS, and evaluates FPGA-related master's theses nationally. He actively engages in public outreach, delivering lectures on wireless communication, CERN's history, and career days for students.
Recent publications emphasize detector modeling for proton therapy (e.g., silicon pixel charge collection) and femtoscopic studies in Pb-Pb collisions. His teaching awards reflect impactful pedagogical innovations, including LLM policy guidelines for academic integrity. Collaborations include international teams at CERN, Yale, and universities in Germany/Hungary.
