How to update your personal details

Profile photo
Upload your profile photo in . Your profile photo in Pure is not linked to your public staff profile. Choose a clear, recent headshot where you are easily recognisable. Your image should be at least 340 by 395 pixels.

Name
To change your name or prefix title contact If you want to update an academic title you'll need to provide evidence e.g. a PhD certificate. The way your name is displayed is automatic and cannot be changed. You can also update your post-nominal letters in .

Job title
Raise a request through to change your job title (40 characters maximum) unless you're on the ERE career pathway. If you're on the ERE path you can not change your main job title, but you can request other minor updates through . If you have more than one post only your main job title will display here, but you can add further posts or roles in other sections of your profile.

About

Jonathan is in the high energy theoretical physics group in Physics and Astronomy, with research interests in lattice quantum chromodynamics simulations on supercomputers for application to particle physics. Current research covers decays of particles containing heavy bottom or charm quarks, as well as kaon physics.

Teaching covers electromagnetism and a dissertation course for undergraduates and quantum field theory for postgraduate students. He is a Senior Tutor for Physics and Astronomy and chair of the postrgraduate Special Considerations Board for the Faculty of Physical Sciences and Engineering.

How to update your 'about' section

You can update this in . Select ‘Edit profile’. Under the heading and then ‘Curriculum and research description’, select ‘Add profile information’. In the dropdown menu, select - ‘About’.

Write about yourself in the third person. Aim for 100 to 150 words covering the main points about who you are and what you currently do. Clear, simple language is best. You can include specialist or technical terms.

You’ll be able to add details about your research, publications, career and academic history to other sections of your staff profile.

Current research

My research is in particle physics with particular interest in lattice QCD supercomputer simulations for flavour physics and wider interests in flavour physics phenomenology. Current research covers semileptonic decays of hadrons containg heavy bottom or charm quarks, K pi scattering and rare kaon decays. These calculations test our understanding of QCD contributions to decay processes and allow us to test the Standard Model of particle physics, revealing (we hope) clues to New Physics beyond it.

Biography

I am in the Theoretical Particle Physics research group, with particular interest in lattice QCD supercomputer simulations for flavour physics and wider interests in flavour physics phenomenology. I came to Southampton in 1991 after a PhD at Harvard University and postdoctoral positions at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL), Chicago.

I have been Head of Department (2015-2019) and was previously in charge of undergraduate teaching as Director of Programmes. I have served as external examiner for theoretical physics degree programmes at the University of Edinburgh and Trinity College Dublin.

I am a past chair of the CERN Computing Resources Scrutiny Group, scrutinising the computing requirements of the four main LHC experiments. I have also chaired STFC's GridPP Oversight Committee, monitoring the UK's contribution to the worldwide LHC computing grid (wLCG). Currently I serve on STFC's IRIS Resources Scrutiny Panel and the UKRI ARCHER eCSE distributed software engineering support panel.

I have served as external examiner for theoretical physics degree programmes at the University of Edinburgh and Trinity College Dublin.
