Jim Brooke

Dr Jim Brooke is an Associate Professor in Particle Physics at the School of Physics, University of Bristol. He holds a PhD and M.Sci. from the University of Bristol and is active in experimental physics collaborations like CMS and DUNE.

• Education: M.Sci. and PhD from University of Bristol

His research focuses on developing fast online data processing systems for high-energy physics experiments, particularly using programmable logic devices (FPGAs) to identify physics signatures in data. Key projects include:

• Searches for dark matter via Higgs boson decays
• Investigations into exotic long-lived particles beyond the Standard Model
• DUNE experiment contributions for neutrino detection from supernovae and astrophysical sources

Recent research trends highlight his work on machine learning acceleration for fast triggers (2021-2022) and medical imaging applications. His expertise spans detector design, data acquisition, and algorithm optimization for particle physics.

Jim Brooke leads the DUNE Data Acquisition Project Stage 2 (2025-2027) and has collaborated on interdisciplinary projects involving FPGA-based systems and medical imaging analysis.
