معرفی
Professor Themis Bowcock is an experimental particle physicist at the University of Liverpool's Department of Physics, where he served as Head of Particle Physics from 2011 to 2019. He leads major international experiments including LHCb at CERN, g-2 at Fermilab, and neutrino projects in Japan and Canada. His research focuses on fundamental questions in particle physics through precision measurements at energy and intensity frontiers.
Education:
- PhD, University College Dublin (2008)
- MSc, University of Geneva (2005)
Research Interests: Professor Bowcock's work spans experimental particle physics with emphasis on quantum technologies, neutrino properties, dark matter detection, and machine learning applications. He leads initiatives exploring the matter-antimatter asymmetry, neutrino oscillations, and novel quantum sensor development for dark energy measurements. His group maintains strong collaborations with theoretical physics and engineering disciplines.
Publication Trends: Recent articles (2025) demonstrate focus on rare particle decays, symmetry violations, heavy flavor physics, and quark-gluon plasma studies using LHCb and other collider data. Work emphasizes precision tests of the Standard Model and searches for new physics through baryon decays, angular analyses, and correlation measurements.
