Maria Girone graduated in Physics
at the University of Bari (Italy). She earned her Ph.D. in High Energy
Physics in 1994. Maria was awarded a CERN research fellowship in the
ALEPH experiment and later worked at Imperial College, London as a
research associate. In 2001 Maria joined the LHCb collaboration, where
she contributed to the development of photon detectors for the RICH
system. Maria moved to the WLCG project in 2002 as a developer of the
Persistency Framework, elements of which are still in use at the LHC.
From 2004 to 2009 she was section leader and service manager of the
Oracle database services for the LHC experiments, essential for the data
acquisition, production and analysis of the data produced at the LHC
accelerator. In 2009, she was appointed deputy group leader of the
CERN IT Experiment Support group and task leader of the EU project EGI-InSPIRE
work package “Services for HEP”. She has supported the 4 LHC experiments
during the challenging years of the first run. Her main focus has been
on the delivery of common solutions across the LHC experiments in data
management, analysis and monitoring in order to achieve a more
sustainable operations and development model. Since summer 2012
Maria leads the WLCG Operations Coordination team, responsible for the
core operations and commissioning of new services in WLCG. It entails
coordination between sites, the LHC experiments, service and
infrastructure providers: a team of several dozens people located
world-wide.
