Interests

Adrian's interests include the development of novel radiation detectors for industrial and scientific applications, including future colliders. Since 2008 he has been working on upgrading the silicon tracking system for the ATLAS experiment at CERN. More recently interests include developing technology for safeguarding and nuclear decommissioning work. His particle physics interests include understanding the behaviour of nature under discrete symmetries, such as CP (matter-antimatter), T (time-reversal) and CPT. He also has a keen interest in understanding the nature of the Higgs boson and searching for new particles such as the magnetic monopole. A common feature throughout these research activities is the use of modern algorithms and machine learning techniques in order to obtain the most information from the underlying data.
