Jennifer Anne Thomas,
Education
She earned a Bachelor of Science degree with honours from Bedford College, University of London, in 1981. She received her DPhil in particle physics from the University of Oxford in 1983 for research on semi-leptonic decays of heavy quarks supervised by Michael G. Bowler.[1][2]
Career and research
Thomas held a
In 1994, she returned to Oxford as a Research Officer on the MINOS proposed experiment, subsequently bringing that experiment to University College London in 1996,[2] and leading the MINOS collaboration since 2010. She was instrumental in broadening the range of the experiment to search for the hypothetical sterile neutrinos.[5]
As of 2020 her work centres around the physics of
