Nick is a postdoctoral research associate in the experimental particle and astroparticle physics group at King’s College London. The focus of his work is on the development of data acquisition for the Hyper-Kamiokande experiment; a specific focus is dedicated to the detector monitoring processes which will be essential for continuous and smooth operation during data-taking periods when the experiment is commissioned. He is also involved in performing oscillation analysis and detector calibration for the predecessor neutrino oscillation experiments in Japan: Super-Kamiokande and T2K.

Nick was previously based at the University of Warwick where his PhD research focused on measuring neutrino-matter interactions using data from the off-axis near detectors of the T2K experiment, ND280. His thesis documents the first cross section measurement of pion production from electron neutrinos on a carbon target. He also helped develop and test the light-injection systems which are scheduled to be deployed in the far detector of the Hyper-Kamiokande experiment.
