Dr. Jim Brooke

Biography

Jim Brooke is an Associate Professor of Particle Physics at the University of Bristol, where he focuses on the development of data-acquisition trigger systems in the field of particle physics. He is currently the UK Principal Investigator for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) Data Acquisition project. His research interests include the Higgs boson, dark matter, and neutrinos, with particular attention to developing fast online data processing systems essential for handling the vast amounts of data produced in experiments. He utilizes programmable logic devices to implement algorithms designed to identify significant signatures within physics data, which are crucial for further offline analysis. He is also involved in collaborations with both CMS and DUNE, where his instrumental work has included searches for dark matter production, decays of the Higgs boson, and investigating exotic long-lived particles predicted by extensions of the Standard Model. Jim's current research projects also involve applying machine learning techniques in medical imaging, demonstrating a cross-disciplinary approach to his work.
