![]() My work fits in-between theory and experiment: after my PhD work on the LHCb experiment, I worked for 4 years in Durham on particle-collision simulations that link the mathematical theory to realistic predictions that we can test. Underground is some very cool stuff, including the LHC accelerator itself:Īnd four huge experimental particle detectors, including the “ATLAS” one that I work on: It’s a pretty interesting geological area, and also very handy for people like me who like to spend time in the mountains! Here’s a snap of the LHC area from above, with the tunnel drawn on top since it’s most invisible on the surface, apart from a few access-shaft buildings: The LHC is a 27 km tunnel underground across the French-Swiss border, near Lake Geneva and nestled in-between the Jura mountains and the Alps chain. Sometime that means searching for (or ruling out) exciting new theories about the big picture of our universe, and sometimes it’s more about the nitty gritty details of an established theory that hasn’t yet been completely pinned down. ![]() ![]() My research work is on particle physics, mostly in predicting the outcomes of colliding super-high-energy protons together in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva, and comparing them to real measured data so we can make the theories more accurate. ![]()
