I read Physics at Oxford University before moving to University College London to pursue a PhD in High Energy Physics.
My PhD research was on an experiment called the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) at the Tevatron collider in Chicago, where protons and antiprotons are accelerated to near the speed of light and collided head-on to produce a range of new particles. Some of these collisions produce a particle known as the W boson. My research involved measuring to a high degree of precision the properties of the W boson, particularly its mass and width.
I am currently a Royal Society University Research Fellow at Imperial College London working on the CMS experiment at the world's most powerful particle collider, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
