I am an experimental particle physicist and I specialise in the study of particles containing the beauty and charm quarks. My research aims to help improve our understanding our universe by comparing our experimental observations to predictions made using the Standard Model of Particle Physics.
I am a member of the LHCb collaboration, one of the four large experiments at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva. During the past few years vast datasets have been collected, allowing us to probe the Standard Model with world-leading sensitives.
Research projects typically involve analysing large datasets and developing experimental techniques, including the use of artificial intelligence. There are also opportunities to be involved in the development and testing of new hardware for the next generation of particle detectors.

  • Measuring the production of particles containing two heavy quarks to test our understanding of QCD
  • Developing new particle identification detectors for a future upgrade of the LHCb experiment
  • Searching for matter-antimatter differences in charm hadron decays
  • Developing new probes to characterise proton-proton collisions
