I have experience with facilitating dialogues between the scientific community and the wider public in addition to advising on issues of accessibility in education.

I have created a comprehensive course as an essential guide to not just navigating, but mastering the Generative AI revolution. Taught from the perspective of lived experience and expertise, you will learn how generative AI actually works, how to use tools safely and effectively, and how to critically assess the technology’s impact on work, society, and accessibility. By the end, you will possess the AI literacy needed to enhance your workflow with confidence, clarity, and care, ensuring you remain firmly in control of your creative vision and professional output.

Anatomy of a Particle Detector

Christmas IOP talk at University of Leeds, December 2025

Particle detectors are to particle physicists as telescopes are to astronomers. They allow us to open a window into the inner workings of the Universe at the smallest length scales to understand it in terms of its fundamental constituents. But how exactly do they reveal to us the properties of the subatomic world in such extraordinary detail and with such remarkable agreement with theoretical predictions?

Claire MaIone will explore these incredible feats of engineering, with a particular focus on the ATLAS experiment at CERN. To digest the enormous flow of data produced by the collisions, ATLAS uses an advanced “trigger” system to tell the detector which particle interactions to record and which to ignore. Complex data acquisition and computing systems are then used to analyse the collision events recorded. Claire will conclude by looking to the future at what new technologies particle detectors are employing so that we can continue exploring the subject of the building blocks of our universe in ever greater detail.
