Anna Benecke selected as FNRS Chercheuse Qualifiée

We are proud to announce that Anna Benecke, a member of CP3 since 2021, has been selected by the FNRS as Chercheuse Qualifiée (a permanent research position within the FNRS). She started in this role on October 1st 2025.

Anna’s research lies at the heart of particle physics. She explores the data collected by the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS), a flagship detector of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, the world’s most powerful particle accelerator. Through her work, she seeks to uncover phenomena that lie beyond the Standard Model, including the elusive nature of dark matter. Within the CMS Collaboration, she is currently serving as coordinator of the Physics Performance and Datasets (PPD) group, one of the five coordination areas of the experiment. This role reflects both her scientific leadership and her deep commitment to the community.
