Jim Dobson is an experimental particle physicist whose research focuses on the intersection of particle, astrophysics, and nuclear physics. He obtained his MSci in Experimental and Theoretical Physics from the University of Cambridge in 2007 and pursued a PhD at Imperial College London from 2007 to 2012, conducting research on the T2K long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment in Japan. His thesis investigated neutrino-induced charged current charged pion production data. After completing his PhD, Dobson's research shifted towards the direct detection of dark matter, leading to a postdoctoral position at the University of Edinburgh where he contributed to the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experiment. In 2015, he joined University College London as a postdoc, working on the LUX-ZEPLIN dark matter direct detection experiment. In 2018, he was awarded the STFC Ernest Rutherford Fellowship at University College London, focusing on WIMP searches and developing radioactive screening techniques. In 2022, he became a Lecturer in Particle Physics at King's College London, where he continues to explore dark matter detection techniques and contribute to various collaborations in the field of astroparticle physics.
