In response to the proposals received from the President of ETH Zurich, Professor Lino Guzzella, the ETH Board resolved to appoint 10 professors, among them Lesya Shchutska of the Institute for Particle Physics and Astrophysics, who was appointed Assistant Professor of Experimental Particle Physics.
The meeting of the ETH Board took place on 13 and 14 December 2017.
Dr Lesya Shchutska (*1985), currently Research Associate at ETH Zurich, as Assistant Professor of Experimental Particle Physics. Lesya Shchutska is an internationally recognised young scientist who received an ERC Starting Grant in 2017. Her research focuses on searching for physical phenomena beyond the standard model of particle physics. She makes use of data recorded by the CMS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva. Lesya Shchutska is one of the world's leading experts in the search for supersymmetric particles. ETH Zurich has appointed her with a view to enhancing its leading role in experimental high-energy physics.
