LAZARIDIS Christos CERN, Geneva - Switzerland
  Although a computer geek since ever, I studied physics in the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Afterwards, I did my PhD studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. During that time I was based at CERN working on the hardware commissioning and the operational software of the CMS Level-1 trigger while preparing my physics analysis in ROOT and C++. Currently, I am a CERN fellow working on the LAGUNA-LBNO design study. Throughout these years I also gained valuable experience in Python, Linux system administration and shell scripting. I am a tinkerer by nature, enjoying breaking things apart and putting everything back in place (successfully most of the times!).
