      I haven’t got any real inventions to my name although we have to invent ways of solving problems each and every day. I have developed some interesting ways in which to get physics results from masses of experimental data.

      But… I also get to be creative outside of my research and I think the most fun thing I have invented is LEGO Physics! We use LEGO to teach particle and nuclear physics and it is the most fun I have had talking particle physics.

      Hi nerd101,

      So for me its not so much inventing things as inventing and writing software. My big project is a system which helps scientists collect and analyse the experimental data they collect from Diamond Light Source where I work.

      You can have a look at it here http://www.opengda.org if your really interested 🙂
