The ATLAS experiment at CERN

The ATLAS experiment is one of four large experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) facility at CERN, and one of two general-purpose detectors designed to explore a wide range of questions about the fundamental constituents of matter and the forces of nature.

HIBEAM-NNBAR: Fundamental neutron physics at the ESS

HIBEAM‑NNBAR is a proposed two-stage experiment at the ESS, searching for rare neutron transformations. Discovering these could reveal why our Universe contains more matter than antimatter, with sensitivity a thousand times better than past searches.

ATLAS - Accelerator based particle physics

The ATLAS experiment detects the particles created when protons or heavy ions collide at very high energies in CERN's largest accelerator - the Large Hadron Collider, LHC. This is where the Higgs particle was discovered in 2012.

About me

I am a particle physicist and a long-time member of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. I have many years of experience in detector systems and data acquisition, and have worked on designing, building and now upgrading the trigger and data acquisition systems for the ATLAS calorimeters.  

I head the instrumentation physics division at Fysikum, a group of particle, nuclear, accelerator and plasma physicists with strong detector and instrumentation backgrounds.  I also teach courses in electronics and digital system construction, aimed primarily at students pursuing studies in experimental physics.
