Mark Lancaster is a Professor of Particle Physics at the University of Manchester, specializing in experimental high energy particle physics. He obtained his MA degree in Physics from Keble College, Oxford in 1988 and continued his studies to receive a DPhil focusing on high energy experimental particle physics from Oxford University between 1988 and 1992. His career includes significant research at DESY in Hamburg with the HERA electron-proton collider and the ZEUS experiment, as well as at Fermilab working with the CDF experiment on the Tevatron collider. A faculty member at University College London (UCL) from 1999 until 2018, he played vital roles as lecturer and head of the High Energy Physics Research Group. Lancaster has served on numerous committees, including the STFC grants panel and as co-spokesperson for the Fermilab Muon g-2 experiment. His research interests are centered on measurements of the proton structure and the strong nuclear force, precision measurements involving W-bosons, and advancements in computer software for high-speed data processing. He is actively involved with projects aiming to explore lepton-flavour violations and understand the fundamental particles within the Standard Model.
