Senior🎓
Top SchoolOliver Roberts is a Research Fellow with over a decade of experience applying nuclear and space physics to radiation detection and astrophysical instrumentation. He has led hands-on development and metrology for X-ray Wolter optics, built in-house beamline capabilities, and played a central role in mission operations and science planning for IXPE and Fermi-GBM. His work spans spectroscopy, scintillator development, GEANT4 modelling and fast-timing detector arrays, bridging lab characterisation with spaceflight applications. Oliver has a PhD in Physics from the University of York and a track record of securing targeted research funding and organising specialist workshops. Based in Galway, he combines deep experimental expertise with data-analysis know-how in transient high-energy phenomena like TGFs and magnetar bursts. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic instrument optimisation informed by both metrology and mission-level operational experience.
