Biography
Mahdi Taani is a visiting research associate in the Experimental Particle and Astroparticle Physics (EPAP) group at King's College London. He graduated from Queen Mary University of London with an MSci in Theoretical Physics. Mahdi then worked on the design of the Hyper-Kamiokande outer detector and searches for non-standard neutrino interactions in atmospheric neutrinos in Super-Kamiokande; this work earned him a PhD from the University of Edinburgh and Nagoya University. At King's, he is currently working on the development and testing of hardware/software for the Hyper-Kamiokande outer detector. He is also working on sensitivity calculations for the future Hyper-Kamiokande experiment.
Mahdi is currently also working on the development of non-invasive medical imaging sensors in the health-tech industry. Specifically, he is working on the development of electromagnetic field simulations, sensor design optimisation and inverse problem reconstruction algorithms.
