Nikolaos Rompotis

Dr. Nikolaos Rompotis is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Physics at the University of Liverpool, where he has held significant administrative responsibilities including Director of Postgraduate Studies since May 2021 and previously Deputy Director of Postgraduate Studies (October 2018-May 2021). His academic profile demonstrates deep involvement in major international particle physics experiments.

His research program focuses on cutting-edge investigations in particle physics, particularly beyond Standard Model Higgs boson physics through the ATLAS experiment at CERN. He also actively participates in the Mu3e experiment at PSI, which searches for lepton-flavour violating decays of muons. His work spans theoretical interpretation of experimental data, detector development, and precision measurements of fundamental particle properties.

Analysis of his publication record reveals a consistent research trajectory centered on Higgs boson physics, searches for new particles beyond the Standard Model, and precision measurements of known particle properties. His work spans both theoretical interpretations of experimental data and development of experimental techniques for particle detection, with recent publications heavily focused on ATLAS experiment results from LHC Run 2 and preparations for future runs.

His scientific recognition includes:

• Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (2018)

Dr. Rompotis provides substantial academic leadership through his teaching and supervision activities. He serves as Module Coordinator for Advanced Particle Physics (PHYS493) and has previously coordinated Foundations of Modern Physics. He regularly supervises MPhys student projects on ATLAS or Mu3e research topics and provides specialized training in ROOT and Python for Particle Physics postgraduate students. His research is supported by significant funding including the Experimental Particle Physics Consolidated Grant 2022 from UK RESEARCH AND INNOVATION (October 2022 - March 2026) and the Experimental Particle Physics Consolidated Grant 2019 from SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY FACILITIES COUNCIL (October 2019 - September 2025).

His work is embedded within two major international collaborations: the ATLAS experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider and the Mu3e experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), positioning him at the forefront of experimental particle physics research.
