Professor Nick Brook is Manchester Met’s Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research, overseeing a growing research portfolio. He joined after leadership roles at Bath, UCL and Bristol, returning to the city where he achieved both his first degree and PhD.

Nick is an extensively-published physicist whose research interests lie in the use of Cherenkov detectors for particle ID, Quantum Chromodynamics and high throughput computing.

He was one of the original signatories of the LHCb experiment at CERN, a 70-partner international collaboration set up to explore what happened after the Big Bang that allowed matter to survive and build the Universe we inhabit today. In the lead up to the first collisions at the Large Hadron Collider, Nick was the Computing Project lead for the LHCb experiment and  was on the management board of the CERN LHC Computing Grid, the world’s largest operational computing grid.
