Congratulations, Dr. Frédéric Girard.
Congratulations to Dr. Frédéric Girard who successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis at the end of April. During his thesis, Frédéric worked on the DARWIN demonstrator (Xenoscope) in our laboratory at UZH. He was involved in designing, building and commissioning a large, full-scale vertical demonstrator for DARWIN, which was operated successufully in 2022 and in the design of the 2.6 m tall TPC. Frédéric also developed a data-driven electron drift lifetime model for Xenoscope's first run and was responsible for testing various VUV-sensitive SiPMs at cryogenic conditions in our laboratory.
