About me: I’m Louie, an experimental particle physicist working at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, in Geneva. On this page, you can find more information about my work, research interests and content such as the Particle Physics for Babies book. I’m passionate about communicating the exciting science of particle physics to the public. I am available to give talks and seminars for any level… just ask! You can find out more about me here.

An ode to Moriond
Image: The conference photo for the 60th edition of the “Rencontres de Moriond: Electroweak Interactions and Unified Theories”. I’m somewhere on the left side of the zero. Credit: Moriond. This March, I had the pleasure of attending the “Rencontres de Moriond: Electroweak Interactions and Unified Theories” conference (“Moriond” for short). It is one of the…
If Particle Physics were a railway, who would lay the track and who would drive the trains?
Image: LHC magnet being assembled. If Particle Physics were a railway, CERN would be in charge of laying and maintaining the tracks and signalling. Image © CERN. This weekend, I’ve been visiting some friends from my university days. While catching up, they asked me a question which I get a lot: are you still working…
High Energy Physics is a generational project
Image: The planned location of the Future Circular Collider at CERN. Credit: CERN. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that the entire field of particle physics is less than 130 years old. I pick as a starting point the date that we discovered our first fundamental particle: the electron (discovered in 1897 by J. J. Thompson).…
