It is my pleasure to announce that Maria Chamizo-Llatas has joined the NPP Office of Project Planning and Oversight (OPPO) as of April 1, 2017. Maria will immediately assume the role of the Lead Coordinator of the proposed MAPS Upgrade of the sPHENIX Detector (MVTX) and assist in the preparation of the sPHENIX Project for the CD1 review in November 2017. At the request of Bob Tribble she will also chair a Sub-Panel of the Project Oversight Board that is charged with conducting a self-assessment of project management practices and issues at BNL.

 

As of July 1 Maria will further take on the role of Director of OPPO for detector related projects (with the exception of the US-ATLAS Upgrade projects, for which David Lissauer will continue to provide oversight) succeeding Jon Kotcher in this role. This will allow Jon to fully focus on the management of the US-ATLAS Hi-Lumi Upgrade and maintain an advisory role in the Phase I Upgrade project. I want to use this opportunity again to thank Jon for setting up OPPO and creating this important mechanism for ensuring project success in NPP.

 

Prior to joining BNL, Maria served at the LHC as CMS Run coordinator and was a member of the CMS Management Board, Executive Board, and Collaboration Board. She has broad knowledge of the detector technologies for the upgrades of the LHC experiments and has been a member of the High Luminosity LHC working group that provides recommendations to ECFA. Most recently she was the Project Manager of proto DUNE and member of the DUNE Technical Board. Her wide experience in international project management will be an important asset as we aim to further strengthen our detector oriented project management environment in NPP.

 

Please welcome Maria to our team of project management experts.

 

Berndt
