Research History

2006-2011

PhD studies in Experimental Particle Physics group at the University of Glasgow (thesis).

Involved work on:

  • Developing stratgies to measure the fully leptonic(e/mu) di-top cross-section with the Atlas detector
  • Characterising minimum bias events - focussed on forward-backward multiplicity correlations in low transverse-momentum collisions.

2011-2014

HEP Applications:
  • Technology such as active edge and CdTe based devices, see CdTe and Edgeless for some results.

2014-present

LHC Upgrade projects:
  • Atlas ITk Upgrade:
    • Pixel detector R&D
    • Strips detector pre-production
      • Various testbeam campaigns (attendence and analysis)
    • Common Infrastructure
  • LHCb Velo Upgrade:
    • Data-rate transmission simulation
