I study neutrino oscillations and the production of neutrino beams in accelerator facilities. My main activities are on the T2K experiment, where I have managed to reduce the neutrino production uncertainty to the level of 5%. This is the most precise a priori estimate of neutrino production that has been achieved for any accelerator-based neutrino oscillation experiment to date!
I am Convenor of the Beam Monte Carlo and CC0Pi Groups for the T2K collaboration.
My research has been nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by the University of Oxford, and published as a book by Springer.
Recently I have been studying protons from neutrino interactions that are below the track reconstruction threshold at the ND280 sub-detector of T2K, and how the modelling of these protons can bias our measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters.
I also provide DAQ and electronics support for the running and upgrade of the T2K near detector, and work on developing the DAQ system for Hyper-K - the next generation megaton sized water Cherenkov detector with unprecedented physics potential.
I am a researcher in the Neutrino Group at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, at the Science and Technology Facilities Council, and a visiting researcher here at the University of Oxford. I completed both my undergraduate and DPhil degrees at the University of Oxford, and was also the inaugural recipient of the Kavli IPMU Oxford DPhil Fellowship.
