SCHOOL OF NATURAL SCIENCES AND MEDICINE
ILIA STATE UNIVERSITY

Direction:Particle Physics
Position:Associate Professor





Juansher Jejelava entered the Tbilisi State University in 2000 where he defended his bachelor’s and master’s degree. In 2006, he started his PhD project at the Ilia State University in the field of particle physics. In 2011, he defended his doctoral thesis and moved from theory to phenomenology. Since 2012, he has been in collaboration with the ATLAS/CERN as a part of TileCal Signal Reconstruction Group. In 2016, Dr. Jejelava joined the ATLAS SUSY group, to which he belongs until now. At the same time, he keeps working on some projects in high energy physics theory.
Along with university duties, he acted as a trainer or a team leader in international competitions for secondary school students such as ‘International Young Physicists tournaments’ in 2017, International Physics Olympiads in 2009 and 2010, International Zhautikov Olympiad 2012, and in a couple more.
In 2015, he participated at the FameLab competition at CERN, and as the finalist, received an extensive media training from the BCC.
Since 2013, he has kept a small scientific blog to popularize science.
In 2018, together with his former group mate from the University, he started the first entertaining scientific PodCast in the Georgian language.
