Marcela Carena

At 62 years old, Marcela Carena physical status not available right now. We will update Marcela Carena's height, weight, eye color, hair color, build, and measurements.

After the completion of her PhD, Carena began a postdoctoral appointment at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, where she worked with William Bardeen. She then returned to Germany for another postdoc position at the Max Planck Institute for Physics in Munich, Germany. In 1993, she went to CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, for another postdoc position.

After three years at CERN, Carena was hired by Fermilab in an associate scientist position, and was later promoted to a full tenured scientist role. At Fermilab, Carena originated a visitor program which brings students from Latin America to Fermilab so that they can pursue research projects with Fermilab theoretical physicists as part of their graduate education. In 2008, she began a formal teaching position at the University of Chicago.

Carena was a general councilor of the American Physical Society (APS); chair of the Division of Particle and Fields of APS; and a member of the APS Committee on International Scientific Affairs. She is a former chair of the DPF Nominating Committee. She served on the Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel (P5) of the U.S. DOE/NSF High Energy Physics Advisory Panel (HEPAP). From 2004 through 2019, Carena was a member of the Aspen Center for Physics. In 2021 she was appointed as a member of the Argentinian Academy of Exact, Physical, and Natural Sciences.

Carena frequently delivers public lectures. She was featured in the 2008 documentary film The Atom Smashers.
