My personal main interest is in the Electroweak Interaction, and in particular Flavor Physics, the role of Fundamental Symmetries in Nature, and the properties of neutrinos, the most mysterious of all known elementary particles. I have been studying CP Violation (the only observed matter-antimatter assymetry) in meson systems containing strange and beauty quarks, and more recently I have initiated the Liverpool neutrino research programme to explore the fundamental questions and great opportunities in the lepton flavor sector.
Here are my main projects:

T2K (since 2003):
Tokai-to-Kamioka is the first "superbeam" long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment. It will use the world's highest power pulsed proton beam at the J-PARC facility in Tokai and the SuperK detector. The first beam neutrinos were produced at J-PARC in 04/09 , detected in the on-axis Near Detector (INGRID) in 11/09 , in the off-axis Near Detector (ND280) in 02/10, and in Super-K in 02/10 .
I have set up the Liverpool neutrino group in 2003. Our main hardware contribution is the design and delivery of the electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL) for ND280. Members of the group are responsible for the ND280 software releases, the overall software framework, ECAL simulation, convening the nu_e analysis group in ND280. We are also developing fast simulation and fitting software for physics studies. I am co-convener of the ND280 Analysis Group and member of the T2K ASG which is overseeing preparation and execution of analysis across all T2K systems (Beam, ND280, Super-K).

BABAR (since 1997):
I am the Principal Investigator of the BABAR group at Liverpool. We are using data of the SLAC B-Factory to study heavy quark transitions. In 2001 we were involved in the discovery of CP Violation in the B meson system. We have pioneered the measurement of the angle alpha of the Unitarity Triangle using the decay (B0 to rho+ rho-). We are now involved in charm physics and specifically D-meson mixing. We have held various positions of responsibility within the collaboration. Our main contribution pre-1999 was the design and construction of the CsI(Tl) endcap electromagnetic calorimeter.

Other projects:
KM3NeT (since 2004): A European initiative for a deep-sea ultra high energy cosmic neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean. Currently at the design study stage (EU-funded in Framework 6).
Super-B: I am interested in the prospect of New Physics searches/studies at a future high-intesnsity B Factory.
