Research Interests

Flavour physics and CP violation; neutrino and heavy quark physics. I work in testing the model of CP violation effects that won Kobayashi and Maskawa the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physics

• Nobel prize website
• Physics World article

Specifically, I am active in the study of B mesons, at the B factory experiments: (2001-2005) Belle at KEK, (2005-present) BaBar at SLAC, and (2008-foreseeable future) LHCb at CERN. Particular interests are tests of the Standard Model and searches for new physics with measurements at these experiments, and also at future facilities. I am a member of HFAG, with responsibility for averaging measurements related to the angles of the Unitarity Triangle.

I am a member of STFC's Particle Physics Advisory Committee.
