Based at the University of Manchester, Brian Cox works at Cern in Geneva on the Atlas experiment, studying the forward proton detectors for the Large Hadron Collider there.Brian Cox Physicist Brian Cox has two jobs: working with the Large Hadron Collider at Cern, and explaining big science to the general public. Based at the University of Manchester, Brian Cox works at Cern in Geneva on the Atlas experiment, studying the forward proton detectors for the Large Hadron Collider there. He's a professor at the University of Manchester, working in the High Energy Physics group, and is a research fellow of the Royal Society. He's also become a vital voice in the UK media for explaining physics to the public. With his rockstar hair and accessible charm, he's the go-to physicist for explaining heady concepts on British TV and radio. He was the science advisor for the 2007 film Sunshine. He answers science questions every Friday on BBC6 radio's Breakfast Show. By Brian Cox

Recently I was invited to give a talk about ATLAS in a series of public talks called TEDx. It took me a long time to think of what to say because I wanted to say something about ATLAS that was interesting, but at the same time not give some Brian Cox-y sort of talk.Ellie Dobson Recently I was invited to give a talk about ATLAS in a series of public talks called TEDx. It took me a long time to think of what to say because I wanted to say something about ATLAS that was interesting, but at the same time not give some Brian Cox-y sort of talk. Don’t get me wrong – I think what he’s doing for the field is great, but the fact of the matter is that I am not Brian Cox and I think even if I tried to give talks like he does, I wouldn’t get very far. It’s a running joke at CERN that the BBC usually seems to get wind of results before we get the internal memo; I often end up reading about the latest results from the LHC in my lunch break on the Internet. …

Popularizing Science: Brian Cox has not only performed extensive research, but has also worked hard to help popularize science to lay audiences, especially through repeated appearances on the BBC programs such as The Big Bang Machine (and an October 2009 appearance on The Colbert Report, following which he later twitted that it featured some of the most intelligent questions he’d ever been asked).

I continued to work on H1 and at the D-Zero experiment at the Tevatron accelerator at Fermilab near Chicago, before joining ATLAS at CERN and becoming the spokesperson of the FP420 R&D project at the Large Hadron Collider. … In mid-2009 I was offered the chance to make my first big documentary series, originally titled “Seven Wonders of the Solar System”.… I graduated with a 1st class honours degree in 1995 and a PhD in experimental particle physics in 1998. My thesis, “Double Diffraction Dissociation at Large Momentum Transfer”, was supervised by Professor Robin Marshall, based on research on the H1 experiment at the HERA particle accelerator at the DESY laboratory in Hamburg, Germany. On graduating in 1998, I received a 3-year PPARC postdoctoral fellowship, followed by a 5-year PPARC Advanced Fellowship. I continued to work on H1 and at the D-Zero experiment at the Tevatron accelerator at Fermilab near Chicago, before joining ATLAS at CERN and becoming the spokesperson of the FP420 R&D project at the Large Hadron Collider.
