Biography
Professor Weightman is an experimental physicist with a track record in developing novel instruments. He was a co-applicant on the proposal to construct the ALICE machine which is an energy recovery linear accelerator, the first of its kind in Europe and the only one in the world equipped with a terahertz beamline designed for studies of cancer. ALICE is now operational and Weightman is leading a collaborative programme involving academic scientists and clinicians in exploiting the potential of ALICE for cancer research.
