William Bell

I have performed experimental particle physics research, publishing analyses on detectors and data measurements, while working at national and international research institutes.  My work has involved constructing new analysis approaches to standard model measurements and searches.  I have led analyses in large international collaborations and served as a research group convenor, editorial board chair and journal reviewer.

I have led the development of computer software applications, within international collaborations and in the commerical sector.  Within the commerical sector, I have worked as a senior consultant software developer in several different market areas.  My experience of software development covers several decades, a range of different computer programming languages and different development lifecycles.

I have constructed a range of teaching materials for schools and the general public.  I have contributed to and led public engagement events in France, Switzerland and the UK.  I have published many computer programming articles and served as a computer programming magazine editor.
