Who We Are

Science, Engineering, and Collaboration

NIPSCERN unites undergraduate students, researchers, and world-class scientists in the pursuit of knowledge at the edge of modern physics.

Our Mission

To integrate engineering, software development, particle physics, art, and logic into the creation of concrete tools, architectures, and systems that support scientific research — and to prepare the next generation of scientists by involving undergraduate students directly in real experiments alongside CERN researchers.

A defining aspect of NIPSCERN is the direct involvement of undergraduate students in real CERN experiments — working side by side with international researchers on active physics analyses and detector instrumentation projects.

Collaborative laboratory space at UFJF

Formerly LAPTEL — The group was originally known as LAPTEL (Laboratório de Processamento de Sinais e Telecomunicações) before being renamed NIPS (Núcleo de Instrumentação e Processamento de Sinais) and later NIPSCERN following the formalization of the CERN collaboration. Our laboratory is located in the PPEE — Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia Elétrica — building at UFJF.
