Senior🎓
Top SchoolDermot Moran is a particle physicist and researcher with 16 years’ experience specializing in Higgs boson properties and detector instrumentation, currently based at CIEMAT in Madrid. He has extensive hands-on expertise in LHC experiment systems—having commissioned and calibrated VELO silicon detectors, maintained the CMS DTTF trigger, and served as an on-call expert at CERN during major upgrades. Dermot’s work spans precision measurements and searches for high-mass Higgs states, combining advanced statistical analysis of large collision datasets with software and operations responsibilities. His PhD in Elementary Particle Physics underpins a track record of peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations stemming from first-of-its-kind measurements. Colleagues value his blend of experimental rigour and operational reliability, evident from frontline roles during detector commissioning and trigger upgrades. Fluent in the practicalities of real-time data acquisition as well as long-term physics analysis, he bridges the gap between instrumentation and discovery-driven research.
