About

Analysing data for high-energy particle physics, working towards the future at the smallest and largest of scales.

Particle Physicist.

Trying to understand how the universe works and how the machines work that we use to answer that question. With curiosity and a healthy scepticism studying how to get to such complex and rich data, the way it is analysed and what it may mean.
