Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Dr Pippa Wells – CERN – After completing her doctorate at the University of Cambridge, Dr Pippa Wells joined CERN, the European laboratory for particle physics, to work on the OPAL experiment at the Large Electron-Positron collider. She subsequently moved to the ATLAS collaboration at CERN’s present flagship, the Large Hadron Collider, LHC. She was project leader of the ATLAS inner tracking detector, which measures charged particles as they emerge from the particle interaction point, and which played a crucial role in the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012. She then coordinated studies to demonstrate the physics potential of a high-luminosity upgrade of the LHC, which will deliver ten times more collisions than the original design. From 2016 to 2020 she served as Head of Member State Relations, and she was appointed Deputy Director for Research and Computing in 2021.
