معرفی
Jonathan Flynn is a Professor of Physics at the University of Southampton, affiliated with the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the Faculty of Physical Sciences and Engineering. He is a member of the Southampton High Energy Physics (SHEP) group and the Southampton Theory Astrophysics and Gravity (STAG) Research Centre. His research focuses on lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD) simulations for flavor physics, including semileptonic decays of particles containing heavy quarks (bottom/charm) and rare kaon decays. These studies aim to test the Standard Model and explore physics beyond it. He has led significant projects such as the EPSRC-funded EXA-LAT initiative and contributed to the Physics Theory Consolidated Grant. Academic service roles include Senior Tutor for Physics and Astronomy, Chair of the Postgraduate Special Considerations Board, and past Chair of CERN's Computing Resources Scrutiny Group. He holds a PhD from Harvard University and has held postdoctoral positions at Rutherford Appleton Lab and Fermi National Accelerator Lab.
Teaching responsibilities include electromagnetism (PHYS2001) and dissertation coordination (PHYS6009), as well as quantum field theory courses for PhD students. His research has been supported by grants from the Royal Society, EPSRC, and STFC. Notable achievements include the Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) designation and leadership in international collaborations like the worldwide LHC computing grid (wLCG).
