New Staff Members and Fellows
New Staff Members and Fellows Maximilian Babeluk Hi, I’m Max. I recently joined the ALICE ITS3 team, where I work on sensor testing, functional verification, and in the future also chip design – particularly on MOSAIX. My main activities include testing and yield assessment across multiple integration levels (wafer probing to system tests), including data
