معرفی
Professor Peter Hobson is an Honorary Professor in the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at Brunel University's College of Engineering, Design and Physical Sciences. A particle physicist actively working at CERN, he contributes to international collaborations including CMS and GridPP, with research spanning radiation sensors, digital holography, and distributed computing. He is a STEM Ambassador and a Fellow of the Institute of Physics (2021) and the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (2018).
His research interests focus on applied physics and interdisciplinary projects, particularly in particle detection and data processing. Key areas include radiation damage effects in materials, quantum dot applications in dosimetry, grid computing systems, and digital holography for metrology. He specializes in vacuum photodetectors, diamond-based sensors, and algorithms for multi-core processors in high-energy physics experiments.
The 15 most recent publications highlight his work on Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments and cover topics such as:
- Searches for new physics beyond the Standard Model
- Development of radiation-hard detectors
- Analysis of top quark and Higgs boson properties
- Optimization of trigger systems and computational methods
Scientific awards and professional memberships include:
- Fellow of the Institute of Physics (2021)
- Fellow of the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (2018)
- Member of the Institute of Engineering & Technology (2018)
- Member of the European Optical Society (2017)
Hobson's outreach efforts emphasize STEM education, and he actively participates in interdisciplinary research projects connecting physics, engineering, and materials science. His work on GPU-accelerated holography and quantum dot-based radiation dosimeters demonstrates his commitment to cross-disciplinary innovation.
