Head of Particle Physics Research Centre | Professor of Physics

Email: j.hays@qmul.ac.uk
Room Number: G. O. Jones Building, Room 415

Profile

As a member of the PPRC, my primary research interests are in the areas of particle physics, large scale scientific computing, and machine learning. Within particle physics I make measurements of Higgs bosons as a member of the ATLAS experiment at CERN, search for magnetic monopoles with the MoEDAL experiment also at CERN, and preparing for the next generation of large neutrino experiments as a member of the DUNE experiment. I am also involved in the management of large scale computing resources for UK scientists through my roles in the STFC IRIS project and the GridPP project.

Teaching

My teaching

Currently, I tutor for the Synoptic Physics module(PHY300) that runs in Semester A and am module organiser for the module on Introduction to C++ Programming (PHY4321) that runs in Semester B.

Research

Supervision

This is not an exhaustive list and I would be happy to discuss other project possibilities.

Project Title
Search for Magnetic Monopoles
Search for the Higgs Boson in its decay to B-Quarks
