The AEgIS collaboration carrying out this experiment consists of 16 institutes and universities, and about 60 scientists from a very diverse range of physics expertise, among them atomic physics, nanotechnology, physical chemistry, plasma physics, laser physics, Rydberg atoms, cryogenic electronics, high energy physics, physics of positronium, microwaves and cavities, dilution refrigerators, ion cooling through lasers, antiprotonic atoms, nuclear physics, and perhaps even dark matter ... • member of the editorial board of the Particle Data Group, of Physics Letters B and of JAIS • member of international advisory or organizing committees of more than a dozen international physics conferences and workshops • coordinator of the Quantum Sensing strand of CERN's Quantum Initiative (since 2020); co-convenor of the Quantum Sensing chapter of the RECFA detector R&D roadmap for particle physics (2021) Interdisciplinary, Public and Art-related activities: • numerous interventions and presentations at Art or Art-Science conferences and events (e.g. ISEA Gwangju 2019, Fifteen Seconds Graz 2019, World Science Forum (New York 2018 - https://youtu.be/qMMgsjnI1is ), Paris Photo 2017, Carnegie Museum of Art / "the invisible photograph" (http://www.nowseethis.org/invisiblephoto/posts/1576) in 2015; Sonic Acts 2013, Amsterdam; Ars Electronica, Austria 2018, 2015, 2012 and 2011; Art Basel 2009; TEDxGeneva (twice); Espacio Enter conference 2009 and others) as well as at galleries or museums; interviews or reviews (TV, radio, printed media, e.g. Servus TV, RSR, Nature, New Scientist, BBC) • member of CERN's cultural advisory board (2011-2014), of TEDxCERN, and of Sparks! (from 2021) advisory boards; co-host at TEDxCERN (2016) • numerous public lectures on science (high energy physics, antimatter, cosmology, dark matter, ...) with an audience of over 10'000 (decision makers, general public, high school students, teachers) in the last 20 years • interdisciplinary publications (philosophy of photography, art and space, open science)
