Todd Huffman | Plenary 3 |
My research is at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in the ATLAS experiment. My own interests are in looking for new and unexpected high mass particles that preferentially decay directly into quarks. The quarks would leave strong jets in the detector which can be detected. I am also heavily involved in the construction of an upgrade to the current ATLAS detector for when the LHC receives an increase in beam brightness. |

Keith Gillow | Workshop B7 |
Keith is the Director of IT & Physical Resources in the Mathematical Institute and also a member of the university's new IT Infrastructure Board and the new IT Architecture Advisory Group. As the principal university contact for the new maths building project for almost 10 years Keith has been intimately involved with every stage of the process having analysed the space and facilities needs, written and maintained the brief, been a member of all the working groups, worked closely with the design team, managed the rapid move in and coordinating aspects of the snagging, defects and changes process. With first hand experience of academic life at undergraduate and graduate level as well as research and teaching, and a background of almost 20 years in IT broadening out into FM and physical resources, this unique position has enabled a more joined up approach to building design, facilities and IT management minimising the risk that any one factor dominates to the detriment of others. Within the department Keith and the IT Team adopt a principle of 'thinking smarter to be more efficient' to deliver high quality standards compliant cross platform solutions that integrate well together saving time and mone |
