Dr. James Beacham searches for answers to the biggest open questions of physics using the largest experiment ever, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. He hunts for dark matter, gravitons, quantum black holes, and dark photons as a member of the ATLAS collaboration, one of the teams that discovered the Higgs boson in 2012. In addition to his research, he regularly speaks around the world (with a large following on TikTok) about the future of science, technology, and society, at events such as the American Museum of Natural History in New York, the Royal Institution in London, the Guggenheim Bilbao, SXSW, and the BBC, among many others. His talk, "How we explore unanswered questions in physics", was featured on TED.com and has been viewed more than 1.6 million times. He contributes to podcasts, radio shows, TV series, and documentaries, and has been featured in The New York Times, WIRED, Popular Mechanics, and Gizmodo, among others. Beacham is also an experimental filmmaker, displaying at art venues internationally and regularly collaborating with other artists.
