Andrew Blake

Dr. Andrew Blake is a Lecturer in Experimental Neutrino Physics at the Department of Physics, Lancaster University. His research focuses on experimental neutrino physics, particularly neutrino event reconstruction and oscillation analysis using Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LAr-TPC) technology. He collaborates on major international experiments including MINOS, MicroBooNE, SBND, and the future DUNE project at Fermilab.

His primary research interests include:

• Precision measurements of neutrino oscillations
• Development of LAr-TPC detection technology
• Search for new physics beyond the Standard Model
• Neutrino interaction cross-section measurements
• CP symmetry violation in the neutrino sector

Blake's recent publications (2025) demonstrate strong focus on:

• Advanced neutrino interaction measurements using MicroBooNE data
• Development of reconstruction algorithms for LAr-TPCs
• DUNE experiment capabilities for supernova detection and CP violation studies
• Validation methods for neutrino-nucleus interaction models

He currently advises three PhD students:

• Krittika Adhikari (Experimental Particle Physics)
• Rachel Coackley (Experimental Particle Physics)
• Bethany McCusker (Experimental Particle Physics)
