Dr Robert James is a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Melbourne. He leads statistical inference for the world-leading LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment, which utilises a deep underground dual-phase liquid xenon time projection chamber. In Australia he is currently leading physics and simulation work for the SABRE South experiment, as it prepares for initial commissioning and data taking. He is also involved in R&D efforts through the XLZD consortium to optimise the design of a next-generation liquid xenon detector to maximise its physics reach.
