My research work is in the field of experimental particle physics. I am a member of the particle physics group at the University of Manchester.

I work on the DØ experiment at the Tevatron proton-antiproton collider in Fermilab, near to Chicago, U.S. Here is some information about the Manchester group on DØ.

I have very recently started work on the ATLAS experiment at the LHC proton-proton collider in CERN, near to Geneva, Switzerland.

I am currently a member of the Scientific Policy Committee (SPC). of CERN and of the UK Committee on CERN (UKCC). Until recently I chaired the LHC experiments committee (LHCC) at CERN and was a member of the CERN Research Board.

I was recently awarded the Chadwick Medal by the Institute of Physics for my contributions to hadron collier physics.

Further biographical information (CV, publication list, etc) can be found here.

I believe passionately that the brightest and most enthusiastic undergraduate physicists can (and should) do original research as well as study from books. Every year I offer a number of full-year research projects to 4th year MPhys students and I usually take on one or two undergraduate summer students. Please contact me if you'd like to find out more about these opportunities.

I currently teach the following courses:

Lagrangian Mechanics (PHYS 20401)

Frontiers of Particle Physics I (PHYS 40521, part of course)

From January 2002 to August 2007 I was on sabbatical from the Particle Physics Group at Manchester University

I was spokesperson of the DØ experiment at the Tevatron proton-antiproton collider in Fermilab, near to Chicago, U.S.

I used to work with the OPAL experiment at the electron-positron collider, LEP in CERN, near to Geneva, Switzerland.

I make quite a lot of effort to promote the public understanding of science.

For example: Identifying Interesting Events at LEP is a set of web pages I wrote for the UK national masterclass in particle physics.
The aim of these pages is to allow you to identify for yourself some interesting particle physics interactions or "events". These events have been seen using the OPAL experiment at CERN, near to Geneva. These web pages were translated into various european languages as part of the international masterclass in particle physics.
