• PhD in Experimental Particle Physics (University of Cambridge, 2014)
• College Lecturer and Fellow at Murray Edwards College, Cambridge since 2016

As a member of the ATLAS collaboration at CERN, Sarah's research uses high energy collisions produced by the Large Hadron Collider at CERN to investigate the fundamental building blocks of the universe. Her recent work has focused on searches for new particles that could explain the make-up of dark matter.
