Biography

I work as a particle astrophysicist, using searches in astrophysics and particle physics experiments to find and test new theories of what the universe is made of and how it came to be. This includes: Searches for new particles at the Large Hadron Collider, a giant particle accelerator located at CERN, Geneva. As a member of the ATLAS experiment, I search for supersymmetric particles and new Higgs-like particles, and I contribute to helping the middle of the detector function smoothly. Working to improve the theoretical models of the new signals that we search for at the LHC (through better modelling of quantum effects). Co-leading the GAMBIT collaboration, a team of approximately 30 international particle and astrophysicists who perform detailed statistical fits of new physics models. These include new models of dark matter, and will soon include cosmological models and models that explain neutrino masses. Involvement in the Australia Cherenkov Telescope Array consortium, who are participating in the building of a new, giant ground-based array of Cherenkov telescopes that are used to hunt for gamma rays from space. Future work will encompass dark matter searches. I am also highly involved in science outreach programmes including: Regular visits to Australian schools Co-star of the BBC-sponsored RiAus show "The Science of Fiction: Dr Who" that toured Australian theatres in 2014, and returned at the BBC Australian Dr Who festival in 2016. Regular print, radio and TV appearances In the following two lectures, I cover my research work at high school level:
