Tony Doyle is a professor of physics and group leader of the experimental particle physics group at the University of Glasgow. He is currently working on particle physics experiments based at CERN (Geneva) and DESY (Hamburg). He has worked on various data analysis issues, starting with online trigger systems, progressing to Monte Carlo simulation studies and through to physics data analysis. As an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow, DESY Visiting Scientist and member of the ZEUS Collaboration, he worked on the analysis of Structure Functions and Hadronic Final States in Deep Inelastic Scattering.

He is GridPP Technical Director, working with a collaboration of Particle Physicists and Computing Scientists from the UK and CERN, who are building a Grid for Particle Physics. He co-directs the ScotGrid project, collaborates within the EU EGEE project, and is a member of various UK e-Science Boards and Committees.

Most recently, as an STFC Senior Research Fellow and member of the ATLAS Collaboration, he has been working on analysis methods to search for the Higgs boson at the LHC. This task requires petabyte-scale data resources and led to an interest in Grid Data Management, including efficient navigation mechanisms between datasets using tags. Secondly, despite the large computational resources available via the Grid, the task necessitates improved simulation methods. Thirdly, it requires enhanced analysis methods, including multivariate analyses and advanced statistical methods to extract the Higgs signal from the significant backgrounds.

He is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics and the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
