PRP Lecturer: Nigel Lockyer

Dr. Nigel Lockyer is a professor of physics at the University of Pennsylvania. He received his Ph.D. from The Ohio State University in 1984. He is an experimental high energy physicist with experience that spans both electron and proton colliders.

Lockyer is the former co-spokesperson of the CDF experiment at Fermilab and was spokesperson for the Mark II experiment at SLAC. His research has focused on top and bottom quark physics.

Lockyer also has served on advisory committees for the Japanese lab KEK and has some accelerator physics experience. He is collaborating with personnel at Penn's School of Medicine on PET-scanning devices.

In mid-2005, he became spokesperson for the Superconducting Module Test Facility (SMTF) project, an effort supported by the United States Department of Energy to develop technology that hasrelevance for a linear collider. Dr. Lockyer brings a wealth of experience with large-scale high energy physics collaborations as well as small-scale experiments and has a keen sense for the management of large research projects.
