Oreglia is a principal member of the ATLAS experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC), where his work involves studying proton-proton collisions. He currently manages the United States' contribution to the hadronic calorimeter upgrade necessary for the High-Luminosity LHC.[1] Prior to his work on the LHC, he contributed heavily to electron-positron collider physics, including searches for the Higgs boson on the OPAL experiment at the Large Electron–Positron Collider (LEP), and led detector research and development for the International Linear Collider.[2] In 2018, he was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society for his combined contributions to both collider physics analysis and detector design.[3]
Career
Oreglia completed his Ph.D. in physics at Stanford University in 1981. His early doctoral and post-doctoral research at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory involved the Crystal Ball detector collaboration, where he studied charmonium spectroscopy and the radiative decays of subatomic particles, including the J/ψ meson.[2][4]
