After completing his Bachelors degree in Physics, and PhD in High Energy Physics, at Imperial College London, Dave moved to CERN as a “Fellow” in 1994, to work on CMS. He spent nearly two decades conceptualizing, prototyping, assembling and operating the 2-layer silicon-based calorimeter in the CMS endcaps: the Preshower. And he is still the overall responsible person for this detector. He has also been the project manager for the CMS Electromagnetic Calorimeter (of which the Preshower is one part) and in late 2015 joined the HGCAL project as one of the people responsible for beam and system tests. He is currently a Group Leader at CERN for CMS Detector Activities (present and future) and in his spare time is practitioner of TaeKwonDo (Korean martial art)
