Nicola Neri is associate professor of Physics at University of Milano and INFN researcher. After graduating at the University of Pisa under the supervision of Marcello Giorgi, he was PostDoc in Pisa and staff physicist at INFN Milano. He was visiting scientist at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Scientific Associate at CERN. He participated to the BaBar experiment and contributed directly to the measurements of charge and parity (CP) symmetry violation and flavour oscillations for B mesons, which confirmed the validity of the CKM mechanism (by the authors Cabibbo, Kobayashi and Maskawa) for the mixing of quarks and CP violation within the Standard Model, for which Kobayashi and Maskawa received the Nobel Prize in 2008. He was convener of the Charm Analysis Working Group of the BaBar experiment. He contributes to the development of new instrumentation, in particular silicon pixel detectors and tracking devices, currently within the Timespot project. Since 2013 he coordinates a group of research participating to the LHCb experiment at CERN, searching for new physics in beauty and charm hadron decays, and is deputy project leader of the Upstream Tracker, currently under construction. He is member of the editorial board of the Chinese Physics C.
