Kieran Flanagan is a Professor of Nuclear Physics at the University of Manchester, where he also serves as the Head of the Nuclear Physics Group and the Director of the Photon Science Institute. Flanagan's research strongly emphasizes advanced techniques in laser spectroscopy, focusing particularly on the structure and behavior of exotic nuclei. After completing his PhD at the University of Manchester, he conducted significant work at CERN and IPN-Orsay, exploring the application of laser methods to measure nuclear properties. In 2015, he received an ERC Consolidator Grant for his project on Fundamental Nuclear Properties Measured via Laser Spectroscopy, and in 2024, he was awarded an Advanced ERC grant for his innovative project ActMol, which seeks to explore the frontiers of fundamental physics through the identification of novel exotic molecules. Flanagan has founded a start-up company, Artemis Analytical Ltd, to commercialize techniques in ultra-sensitive mass spectrometry, allowing for advanced research applications in isotope detection and characterization. He is actively promoting collaborations and advancing research in nuclear physics, contributing extensively to multiple projects and serving on advisory boards.
