Christoph Grab studied physics at the ETH Zurich and obtained a PhD degree from the U. of Zurich in 1985. After short stations at UC Berkeley (LBNL, USA), SLAC (Stanford, USA) and LEP (Geneva) at CERN, he returned in 1990 to the ETH. Since 2003 he is a member of the CMS collaboration at CERN. In 2008, he was awarded the title of a professor and leads his own research group within the Institute for Particle Physics (IPP). The primary research interests cover the field of standard model processes, such as the studies of the production of heavy quarks, and the search for the standard model Higgs particle. In addition, he is involved in investigations of rare processes. Within Switzerland, he coordinates the LHC computing grid activities for the physics exploitation of the LHC data.
