OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
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.
