Tejinder Virdee
Prof. Sir Tejinder Singh Virdee, (born 13 October 1952), is an experimental particle physicist and Professor of Physics at Imperial College London. He is best known for originating the concept of CMS with a few other colleagues and has been referred to as one of the 'founding fathers' of the project. CMS is a world-wide collaboration which started in 1991 and now has over 3000 participants from 38 countries.
Virdee was elected Fellow of the Royal Society and of the Institute of Physics in 2012. In recognition of his work on CMS he has been awarded
the Institute of Physics (IOP) 2007 High Energy Physics Prize〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.iop.org/activity/groups/subject/hepp/prize/group/page_40779.html )〕 and the IOP 2009 Chadwick Medal and Prize. In 2012, he was awarded the Yuri Milner Special Fundamental Physics Prize
for 'leadership in the scientific endeavour that led to the discovery of the new Higgs-like particle by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations at CERN's Large Hadron Collider along with 6 other physicists.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.fundamentalphysicsprize.org/laureates/laureates2 )Virdee plans to use the money to support science in schools in Sub-Saharan Africa—see 〕 In 2013 he was awarded the European Physical Society High Energy Physics Prize for his pioneering work and outstanding leadership in the making of the CMS experiment along with two others, one from CMS and one from ATLAS and the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations.
In 2014, Virdee was knighted in the Queen's Birthday Honours list for services to science.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/319884/Birthday_Honours_FCO_Notes_on_higher_awards.pdf )〕
==Early life and education==
Tejinder Virdee, son of Udham Kaur and Chain Singh Virdee, was born in Nyeri, Kenya in 1952 into a Sikh family. Virdee went to school in Kisumu at the Kisumu Boys High School. Due to the prevailing circumstances in Kenya at the time, his family Indian by origin, left in 1967 and moved to Birmingham, England. He credits part of his interest in physics to Howard Stockley, his physics teacher at King's Norton Boys' School, Birmingham, whom he describes as an 'inspirational teacher'.〔 He also remembers visiting Birmingham Museum of Science and Industry, where he stumbled across a cloud chamber sparking his interest in the study of the structure of matter. Virdee obtained a B.Sc. in Physics from Queen Mary University of London in 1974.
