Paolo Giubellino (born 9 November 1960) is an Italian experimental particle physicist working on High-Energy Nuclear Collisions.
[2] Until 31 December 2016, Giubellino was Spokesperson of the ALICE: A Large Ion Collider Experiment, an international collaboration of more than 1300 people from 163 scientific institutions from 40 countries.
[5] In 2011 at the international symposium on subnuclear physics held in Vatican City, he gave a talk The Little Bang in the Laboratory: Heavy Ions @ LHC with ALICE.
Moreover, he has participated in numerous experimental projects first at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron and, since the beginning of the program, at the Large Hadron Collider.
[citation needed] Paolo Giubellino has dedicated most of his scientific life to the Physics of High-Energy Heavy-Ion collisions, first in HELIOS,[18] then in NA50, in the ALICE experiment and finally at GSI and FAIR.
[19] During his entire career, Giubellino has participated in several R&D projects directed to the development of silicon detectors and radiation tolerant electronics.
He is also one of the founding fathers of the microelectronics group at INFN Torino Giubellino has been involved in ALICE from the very first feasibility studies, and has later carried a number of responsibilities in the experiment, including Project Leader for the Inner Tracking System, Chair of Conference Committee, Upgrade Coordinator and, for six years, Deputy Spokesperson (July 2000 – September 2002 and August 2006 – December 2010).
He has been active in International collaboration, and has promoted and had key roles in several programs funded by the European Union, NATO and numerous bilateral agreements.
