Richard Batley

Dr. Richard Batley is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Physics at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the Cavendish Laboratory and the School of the Physical Sciences. He specializes in experimental high-energy physics, contributing to the ATLAS Collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). His research focuses on precision measurements of electroweak interactions and gauge boson production, with implications for the Standard Model and Higgs physics.

• Education:
• BA (Hons) in Mathematics, University of Cambridge (1976)
• Part III Mathematics, University of Cambridge (1977)
• DPhil in Experimental Particle Physics, University of Oxford (1981)

His career includes roles as a Fellow at CERN (1981–1983), Research Assistant and SERC Advanced Fellow at Queen Mary College London (1984–1989), and academic positions at Cambridge since 1989. He has contributed to experiments such as NA48 (K-meson decays), OPAL (Z boson decay studies), and UA1 (supersymmetry searches).

No scientific awards or funded grants are explicitly mentioned in the text. He currently works within the High Energy Physics Research Group at the Cavendish Laboratory.
