### Research Interests

I am an experimental particle physicist and part of the University of Warwick Elementary Particle Physics Group. I have been a member of the LHCb Collaboration since 2014. My predominant research interests involve searching for, and measuring, CP violation (a violation of the symmetry between matter and anti-matter) in B-meson decays using data from the LHCb experiment at CERN. These measurements provide a powerful and precise test of the Standard Model and are sensitive to New Physics (NP) particles at extremely high energy scales.

### Warwick Week Flavour Physics Lectures

These lectures, hosted at Warwick, are given to all first year PhD students in particle physics at several UK institutes.

Lecture 1 [recording] - Flavour in the Standard Model

Lecture 2 [recording] - Mixing and CP violation

Lecture 3 [recording] - Measuring the CKM parameters

Lecture 4 [recording] - Flavour Changing Neutral Currents

### Student Supervision

I currently supervise two PhD students (one at Warwick and one at Cambridge):

• "Measurement of the CKM angle γ with $BdtoDzKpi$ decays" - Aidan Weiderhold (Warwick)
• "Search for the $Bc2D0MuNu$ decay and measurement of $VubVcb$" - Blaise Delaney (Cambridge)

I usually take two MPhys project students each year. Past projects have been

### Responsibilities
