Roger Forty studied physics at Oxford and Cambridge universities before gaining his PhD at Imperial College London working on the NA14 experiment at CERN, studying charm production with one of the first silicon microstrip detectors. He then came to CERN as a research fellow working on ALEPH, and has stayed at CERN as a staff member ever since, moving to the LHCb experiment when it formed. There he helped design the RICH detectors, and proposed a novel detector for low-momentum particle ID known as TORCH that is under study for a future upgrade. He is currently one of the deputy department heads of EP.
