Join us tomorrow, Tuesday 1 June, for Alumni Career Talk with Niclas Westerberg.
Nic’s connection to the Higgs Centre is through an MSc in Theoretical Physics that he completed in 2015, after which he continued to do a PhD with the Scottish Centre for Doctoral Training in Condensed Matter Physics.

The Higgs Centre is organising a series of talks by alumni on their career paths. We are featuring Edinburgh graduates in both academic and industry roles.

As part of our Higgs Centre Decennial celebrations, The Higgs Centre is organising a series of talks by alumni on their career paths. We will be featuring Edinburgh graduates in both academic and industry roles.
Today's career talk is with Jack Medley.

Career Talk with Jack MedleyEvent descriptionJack was a PhD student and worked at the Higgs Centre for Theoretical Physics with Jenni Smillie, focussing on Z/gamma* emissions in the presence of multiple high energy QCD jets. In 2016, he finished his PhD and went to work at Gambit Research working on...

Answering questions such as "What is dark matter?" or "What happened directly after the Big Bang?" requires finding new physics, like not yet known particles or forces. Via quantum effects such new physics will contribute tiny amounts to properties of known particles and could be discovered by observing small deviations between experiments and theoretical predictions.

Please join Prof Laurent Lellouch (BMW collaboration) and Prof Christoph Lehner (RBC-UKQCD collaboration) for this year’s Higgs Centre Summer Forum
