Prof. Tina Potter

BIOGRAPHY

Tina Potter is a Professor of High Energy Physics at the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge. Her research interests lie in the discovery of new physics beyond the Standard Model, in particular understanding Dark Matter. This work involves searching for signs of new particles formed in the high energy proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Her research focuses on the design of novel and sensitive searches for new physics, such as Supersymmetry, using the ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC Apparatus) detector. Professor Potter is a 2021 recipient of the University of Cambridge’s Pilkington Prize for her contributions to teaching excellence.
