Product Manager for ATLAS Glance Project
ATLAS is one of the world's largest scientific collaborations, bringing together thousands of people to explore the frontiers of physics. Supporting such a large collaboration requires careful management of ATLAS collaboration information and several of its workflows, including members' appointments, employment records, publications, speaker nominations, authors' lists, and institute contributions.
The Glance system provides user-friendly access to multiple databases, making it easy to retrieve, insert, and update data independently of technology or modelling. It powers several key tools, including Membership, Appointments, Speakers, Analysis Follow-Up, and Conference Notes, all of which continue to evolve to meet the collaboration's needs.
