Javier Serrano

Javier leads a team of electronics designers and Linux kernel developers at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics. He is the initiator of the Open Hardware Repository, a co-author of the CERN Open Hardware Licence and the coordinator of CERN’s contribution to the development of KiCad. At work, he specializes in very precise synchronization solutions for distributed controls and data acquisition systems, such as White Rabbit. Javier is also very keen on education and advocacy. He enjoys taking groups of students around CERN, teaching them Physics through hands-on experiments and telling them about Open (Science | Data | Access | Software | Hardware). A native of Castellón, Spain, Javier holds degrees in Physics and Electronics Engineering.
