Summary
Andy Chappell is a Research Fellow and PhD-level particle physicist with a decade of technical experience building analysis software and high-performance workflows for large neutrino experiments such as T2K and DUNE. He combines MEng-level software engineering and C++/Python development with advanced data analysis on HPC systems to deliver world-leading measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters, including CP-violation sensitivity that helped reject CP conservation at the 2σ level for T2K Run 9. Based in the UK but experienced working on-site in Japan, he authors technical documentation, leads collaboration presentations, and converts complex detector reconstruction challenges into robust code and publications. His background also spans quantitative trading and telecoms/consulting work, giving him an unusual mix of experimental physics rigor, production-grade engineering, and financial-model-driven risk thinking.
