Rebeca Gonzalez Suarez

Rebeca Gonzalez Suarez is a Spanish-Swedish particle physicist that works at Uppsala University in Sweden where she teaches physics in the Departments of Physics and Astronomy and Engineering Sciences. A member of the ATLAS Collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) since 2018, she started her career in the CMS Collaboration (2006-2018) looking for the Higgs boson for the PhD thesis. After being based at CERN for a decade, working for institutes in Belgium and the US, she now leads a growing research team in Sweden. A Higgs boson and top quark expert, today she keeps looking for answers to long standing questions in the field searching for new phenomena at the LHC and beyond, in the particle colliders of the future. 

With more than fifteen years of public engagement experience including but not limited to different outreach events, media appearances, extensive guiding and science communication, she was elected outreach coordinator of the ATLAS Collaboration in 2020, and within this role she has been in charge of the ATLAS-wide education, communication, and outreach program since March 1st 2021
