OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The Dorothy Hodgkin Memorial Lecture 2022 - “What has particle physics done for me?”
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.
