Professor Brian Cox holds a chair in particle physics at the University of Manchester and works on the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, CERN near Geneva.
Brian, a former member of pop band D:Ream, also works in television and radio and delivers talks to schools, science festivals and conferences. He has written articles for The New Statesmen and The Times and was a technical consultant on Danny Boyle’s film, Sunshine.
The LHC is an international research project involving scientists, support staff and engineers from more than a hundred nations, making it one of the largest scientific experiments ever conducted.
The Large Hadron Collider is the most powerful particle accelerator in the world and the next steps will be the recreation, on a microscale, of the conditions that existed billionths of a second after the birth of our Universe.
