Personal profile
I am searching for evidence of new physics in data observed using the ATLAS detector. This detector is positioned at one of the four proton-proton collision points of the the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. I am particularly interested in searching in the high mass dielectron (ee), dimuon (μμ) and diphoton (γγ) events. Many beyond the Standard Model theories predict new high mass particles, such as Z' bosons (→ee, μμ) or Gravitons (→ee, μμ, γγ) which could decay into these channels.
Personal profile
Graduated in physics from St Edmund Hall, University of Oxford in 1999 (MPhys). D. Phil in Particle Physics from Oxford, St. Edmund Hall 2002. PPARC Post doctoral research Fellow in Particle Physics, from 2002 till 2005 searching for evidence of new physics on the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) at University of Liverpool. Lecturer at Royal Holloway University of London, Particle Physics ATLAS Group.
As well as physics, I'm interested in sports, gardening and general fun outdoors pursuits!
