Laura Fabbri

Laura Fabbri is an Associate Professor at the University of Bologna, affiliated with the Department of Physics and Astronomy 'Augusto Righi' under the School of Engineering and Architecture. Her academic career spans high-energy physics research, focusing on fundamental interactions within the Standard Model framework at institutions like CERN and INFN.

Educational Background:

• Graduated with honors in Physics (2000) from the School of Mathematical, Physical and Natural Sciences at University of Bologna
• PhD in Physics (2004)

Dr. Fabbri's research centers on experimental particle physics, including data analysis and detector development for high-energy experiments. She has contributed to major collaborations like ATLAS at CERN, working on Standard Model validation and Higgs boson studies. Her instrumental work involves detector technologies for projects like HERA-B and SHIP.

Scientific Recognition:

• 2013 HEPP Prize (European Physical Society) for Higgs discovery
• 2004 Italian Physical Society Award for young researchers

She teaches General Physics across multiple engineering programs and coordinates advanced seminars. Institutional roles include departmental board membership (2014-2015) and representing Physical Sciences in the University Observatory for the Third Mission. Active in scientific outreach, she maintains engagement through conferences and dissemination activities.
