Laura Baudis is a professor in the Physics Department of the University of Zurich and Associate Investigator with CDM.

She has a long interest in dark matter and neutrino physics and has worked on dark matter detectors and on neutrinoless double beta decay since her days as a PhD student at the University of Heidelberg. She is one of the founders of the XENON programme, she is involved in GERDA/LEGEND and she leads the DARWIN collaboration with the aim to build an astroparticle physics observatory based on a 50-tonne liquid xenon detector. In 2017, she was awarded an ERC Advanced Grant for her project Xenoscope, which conducts R&D for the construction of the DARWIN time projection chamber. In 2021 she became a member of the Academy of Sciences and Literature Mainz and in spring 2022 she was awarded the Charpak-Ritz Prize by the French and Swiss physical societies.
