IPPP Associates 2011-2012

The IPPP Associates for 2011-2012 are listed below. The aim of this programme is to support particle physics phenomenology research in the UK. The Associateships are awarded on the basis of scientific excellence bearing in mind the need to balance activity in different areas of phenomenological research including beyond the standard model physics, electroweak and Higgs physics, flavour physics, model building, Monte Carlo simulations, neutrino physics, particle astrophysics and strong interactions. 

Each Associate receives funding from  Durham University, through the IPPP to support their research programme through, for example,  visits of the Associate or their students to IPPP, IPPP staff/PDRA/student visits to the Associate's institution, travel of Associate or their students to conferences, visitors to the Associate's institution, partial teaching buy-outs, etc. It is expected that an Associateship will lead to enhanced interactions and enable new collaborations between the Associate, the Associate's Institution and the IPPP. Associates are expected to contribute to the IPPP workshop programme.
