| Description | ATLAS Collaboration |
| Organisation | European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) |
| Country | Switzerland |
| Sector | Academic/University |
| PI Contribution | The ATLAS Collaboration at CERN, including R&D toward upgrades of the CERN LHC Facility |
| Collaborator Contribution | International laboratory hosting an experiment |
| Impact | These include the discovery of the Higgs boson, many publications and preliminary results, machine learning technology integrated into teaching resources for undergraduate and graduate students. |
| Description | MSL thin silicon development work |
| Organisation | Micron Semiconductor |
| Country | United Kingdom |
| Sector | Private |
| PI Contribution | Worked with MSL to obtain thin silicon detectors for generic R&D as a follow on/parallel line to the ATLAS detector development work. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Partners worked on modifying their production process to adapt a product line for our requiremetns for a new R&D line in thin devices. This required an in-kind contribution from the partner company. |
| Impact | work is ongoing. |
| Start Year | 2017 |
| Description | National Nuclear Laboratory |
| Organisation | National Nuclear Laboratory |
| Country | United Kingdom |
| Sector | Public |
| PI Contribution | My team and NNL have had 5 or 6 very productive in depth discussions about the usage of our technology for decommissioning activities. The company has learned about the capabilities our novel technology brings and is discussing those with some of its customer sites. |
| Collaborator Contribution | We have developed a deeper understanding of the needs of industry and submitted applications for future CASE and NDA funded studentships. We have submitted a funding proposal with NLL as a partner, and for that submission we have a pledged in-kind contribution from the company. |
| Impact | This collaboration covers physics and chemistry, and includes sub-fields of particle physics and condensed matter. |
| Start Year | 2021 |
