At the moment I\u2019m the project engineer for UK activities on the data acquisition system for DUNE. Big, long-time-scale stuff. It\u2019s a fun time to be involved with DUNE, since we\u2019re kicking around ideas of how to make the system work. However, my first and enduring love in physics is small-scale detector and readout development. It is a great feeling when you have taken a prototype to a test facility and it starts to work. This always seems to happen at about 3 a.m. on the last day of your time-slot on the beam-line. So, it&#8217;s a mix of sleep deprivation and euphoria. And it\u2019s possible the euphoria comes from sleep deprivation.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\n<div class=\"learnmore\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fnal.gov\/pub\/science\/lbnf-dune\/index.html\">Curious about the project?
