Suvayu Ali is a particle physicist at the NIKHEF National Institute for Subatomic Physics in Amsterdam, Netherlands. He is working in a group for Marcel Merk, collaborating on the LHCb detector experiments which are going on now at the LHC collider in CERN. It is quite often that collaborators from various institutions around the world come to CERN every now and then. So did I several years back. :-) Besides, when you happen to be on a random place in the world and do a DHCPDISCOVER, you typically will not get an answer from 137.138 dhcp servers, unless that random place is an office in CERN.
