Senior🎓
Top SchoolHaroon Rafique is an accelerator physicist and modelling leader with a decade of experience building measurement-driven, end-to-end accelerator models to enable low-loss, high-intensity operation. Currently leading the Accelerator Modelling Section at STFC and collaborating as a Visiting Scientist at CERN, he bridges beam dynamics simulation, HPC-enabled particle tracking, and operational diagnostics to improve machine performance and inform upgrade designs. He has a strong track record in benchmarking and integrating codes like PyORBIT, PTC and MERLIN, and in turning complex measurements into validated predictive tools used across ISIS, CERN and international partners. An effective communicator and educator, he routinely translates intricate accelerator physics for diverse audiences, guides visitors through high‑risk facilities, and runs outreach and student mentoring programs. Outside research, he brings 20+ years coaching basketball—comfortable leading very large groups—which reflects his practical leadership and team-building skills.
