Professor Jones actively supervises PhD students (23 supervised works documented) and teaches graduate-level courses on linear accelerators and wakefields. His research is supported through international collaborations including the Cockcroft Institute project (2017-2018) and ongoing work with CERN, DESY, and SLAC. Current PhD opportunities focus on VHEE radiotherapy machine design, dose studies, and wakefield analysis for XFELs, with some projects requiring extended periods at CERN.
His research group operates within the Manchester Accelerator Physics Group and the Cockcroft Institute, utilizing internationally acclaimed particle accelerators for postgraduate studies and research. The group maintains specialized facilities for studying beam dynamics, wake-fields, and photocathode science, with strong connections to the CLEAR facility at CERN for FLASH radiotherapy experiments.
