Staff profile

Dr. Yeadon holds a Master's and Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Sheffield. His Master's specialized in simulating Supernova detection from WATCHMAN, a water Cherenkov monitor designed for antineutrino detection. In the subsequent doctoral research, Dr. Yeadon moved into particle physics hardware, focusing on the cooling systems of the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN.
