Intro

Me, on holiday

Hi, by some stroke of misfortune you've managed to find your way to Tim West's website. I used to bemoan about being low on Google (for a while I couldn't even find myself on there if I searched for Tim West). Now, however, if you do a Google search for Tim West then I'm first both worldwide and in the UK (if you use google.co.uk, only third on google.com). This is very nice and everything, but I'd rather be first, after all, if you put in Chris Tevlin, Adam Mercer, Neil Hodgkinson or Darren Price (congratulations to Darren on the newfound glory) get first on there.

Given the domain name that comes first, I do suspect that it is fairly unlikely I'll overtake him. At least I come above him if you search for Timothy West, coming second in the UK and third worldwide (which is kind of bizzare as I'm fairly certain that I haven't mentioned 'Timothy' anywhere on here apart from back there). Needless to say, I do get the odd e-mail from people who find my site for some reason:
Number of people finding my website when looking for the actor Timothy West:1 Number of people finding my website and confusing me with Agamemnon (I think this is linked to the above):1
Number of people with the same name as me:2
Number of people wanting me to repair some pipes for them:1
Number of people who were coming to England and wanted to meet me for some unknown reason:1

Anyway, I am currently doing my PhD (started October 2004) in high energy Physics (hep) at the University of Manchester. Currently I am looking at &tau-&rarr&pi-+&pi-+&pi++&pi0+&nu&tau decays at Babar in California. My supervisor is Professor Roger Barlow and you can find some of my work here.

Contact Details

I just realised that for the last six months the contact details have been slightly wrong. You can't find me in room 7.11 (the Babar room) on the seventh floor of the Schuster building because I'm actually here. If you want to e-mail me, try this.
