Prof. Marinelli started her career as a PhD working in the ALEPH Collaboration at LEP (the Large Electron-Positron collider at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland). During the period of her involvement, the facility was operating at the Zo resonance energy, and Marinelli contributed to one of the most important phases of verification of the Standard Model. Presently she is actively engaged in the experimental program of the LHC (the Large Hadron Collider also at CERN). This program will keep probing the Standard Model and beyond, by searching for the missing Higgs boson while being open to whatever else Nature would like to present to us, from the predicted to the even more fascinatingly unpredicted.
