Dr Stephen West

Graduated in physics from Oriel College, University of Oxford in 2002 where I also obtained a DPhil in theoretical particle physics in 2005. I continued in Oxford as a post-doctoral researcher and then as a fellow at Magdalen College before joining Royal Holloway as a lecturer in 2009. 

I am a particle phenomenologist principally working on Beyond the Standard Model physics and particle cosmology. In particular I am interested in dark matter, neutrino physics, supersymmetry, Higgs Physics and how all of the above can be investigated and tested at experiments such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

I teach the 3rd year Quantum theory course (PH3210) and the graduate course "The Standard Model" as part of the NExT graduate school.
