To study the physics of elementary particles the conditions which governed the universe at its beginning are reproduced in collider experiments: The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been build at CERN, a particle accelerator which probes deeper into the processes of the Big Bang than ever before. In 2008 it started to collide beams of protons, and collected data-sets at 7 and 8 TeV centre-of-mass energy that enabled the discovery of the Higgs particle in 2012, which lead to the attribution of the 2013 Noble price in Physics to Francois Englert and Peter Higgs. The LHC resumed operation in 2015 at nearly twice the collision energy, and first results presented in December 2015 have sparked excitement amongst scientist about the possibility of physics not described by the Standard Model of particle physics.Ultimately, LHC will need to deliver more collisions to have a decisive answer if the results presented in December 2015 were the first indication of new physics or a statistical fluctuation. LHC is preparing to produce up to 20 times the number of collision in the run-2 period during the next 2 years, and the ATLAS experiment is preparing to take data with the highest possible efficiency.In October 2015 AO was elected to become the next "Run Coordinator" of the ATLAS experiment by thecollaboration board, representing the 174 collaborating institutes and about 3000 scientists.The prestigious "Run Coordinator" role is a position of high responsibility and visibility, with the mandate to coordinate the operation of the entire ATLAS experiment. It is the mandate of the Run Coordinator to supervise and ensure the continuous and efficient operation of the ATLAS detector.

为了研究基本粒子的物理学，在对撞机实验中再现了宇宙开始时的条件：大型强子对撞机（LHC）已经在欧洲核子研究中心建造，这是一个比以往任何时候都更深入地探索大爆炸过程的粒子加速器。2008年，它开始碰撞质子束，并收集了7和8 TeV质心能量的数据集，使希格斯粒子在2012年被发现，这导致了2013年物理学诺贝尔奖的归属弗朗索瓦·恩格勒和彼得·希格斯。大型强子对撞机于2015年以近两倍的碰撞能量恢复运行，2015年12月公布的第一批结果引发了科学家对粒子物理学标准模型未描述的物理可能性的兴奋。如果2015年12月提出的结果是新物理学的第一个迹象，或者是统计学上的第一个迹象，那么LHC将需要提供更多的碰撞，才能有一个决定性的答案。波动LHC准备在未来2年内在run-2期间产生多达20倍的碰撞次数，ATLAS实验准备以尽可能高的效率获取数据。2015年10月，AO被理事会选举为ATLAS实验的下一任“Run Coordinator”，代表了174个合作研究所和大约3000名科学家。著名的“运行协调员”角色是一个高度责任和知名度的职位，其任务是协调整个ATLAS实验的运行。运行协调员的任务是监督和确保ATLAS检测器的持续有效运行。
