Rate My Professor Anna **Electronics Engineer** **Organizational unit:** Faculty of Science **Section / Division:** Ph Sfyrla

Anna Sfyrla is an Associate Professor at the Département de Physique Nucléaire et Corpusculaire (DPNC), University of Geneva, Faculty of Science. She obtained her Diploma in Physics from the National Technical University of Athens (1994-1998) and her PhD in Physics from the University of Geneva in 2003, with research on the ATLAS experiment at the LHC and the CDF experiment at the Tevatron, supervised by Prof. Allan Clark. After her PhD, she remained at the University of Geneva as a postdoctoral researcher until 2008. She then held a Research Associate position at the University of Chicago starting in 2008 and a Senior Research Scientist role at Brookhaven National Laboratory from 2010. In autumn 2015, she joined the University of Geneva as Assistant Professor and advanced to Associate Professor.

Sfyrla's research focuses on experimental particle physics with the ATLAS detector at CERN's Large Hadron Collider and the FASER experiment, including searches for supersymmetry, collider neutrinos, feebly interacting particles, dark matter, and axion-like particles. She serves as Deputy Spokesperson for the ATLAS collaboration. Key publications include 'First Direct Observation of Collider Neutrinos with FASER at the LHC' (Physical Review Letters, 2023), 'First Measurement of the ν_e and ν_μ Interaction Cross Sections on Argon' (Physical Review Letters, 2024), and contributions to numerous ATLAS papers. She has obtained Swiss National Science Foundation grants, such as FLARE for dark matter studies. At the University of Geneva, she teaches 'Particle Physics: An Introduction' (Coursera), 'Physique d'aujourd'hui', 'Selected topics on particle physics', 'Physique Générale C', and mathematics support courses. Sfyrla chairs the Diversity Committee of the Faculty of Science and participates in the Equality and Diversity Commission, promoting interventions on sexism.
