CERN Accelerating science

Michael Campbell is the leader of the Medipix design team in the Experimental Physics Department at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland where he has worked for over 30 years. He was leader of the Microelectronics Section at CERN for 6 years until December 2019 when he stepped down to focus on more technical and research tasks. He was one of the pioneers of pixel detector readout and of the use of radiation-hard-by-design techniques. He is spokesperson of the Medipix2, Medipix3 and Medipix4 Collaborations who seek to disseminate pixel detector technology to many different fields. Michael received his PhD from the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland (his native city) and has authored several hundred scientific publications. In 2016, he was appointed Honorary Professor of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Glasgow.
