Description
"A Conversation with..." is a series of technical talks with invited speakers and are an intimate and interactive session allowing for a deeper conversation about a technical topic. The sessions are typically scheduled after broader lectures with said speaker, which we strongly encourage you to attend.
About the speaker
John Ellis holds the Clerk Maxwell Professorship of Theoretical Physics at King's College in London. After his 1971 PhD from Cambridge University, he worked at SLAC, Caltech, and CERN (Geneva), where he was Theory Division Leader for six years. Much of his work relates directly to interpreting results of searches for new particles. He was one of the first to study how the Higgs boson could be produced and discovered. He is currently very active in efforts to understand the Higgs particle discovered recently at CERN, as well as its implications for possible new physics such as dark matter and supersymmetry. John Ellis was awarded the Maxwell Medal and the Paul Dirac Prize by the Institute of Physics. He was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of London and of the Institute of Physics, and is an Honorary Fellow of King's College Cambridge and of King's College London.
