JAI sustainability research featured in Physics World

Research from the JAI has been featured in Physics World as part of a wider look at how the international accelerator community is working to reduce the environmental impact of big science. The article, “Big science seeks big wins from sustainability efforts”, features Dr. Hannah Wakeling,

Dr. Hannah Wakeling

a postdoctoral research assistant at the JAI, whose work focuses on embedding environmental sustainability into particle accelerator research and infrastructure.

As accelerator facilities become increasingly ambitious, understanding and reducing their environmental impacts is an important challenge for the field. The Physics World feature explores efforts across the international community to address this, from improving energy efficiency and adopting lower-impact technologies to considering sustainability throughout the full lifecycle of research facilities.

Wakeling’s work at the JAI contributes to these efforts by evaluating lifecycle impacts and investigating how environmental considerations can be incorporated into accelerator science in a practical and effective way, helping to support both scientific ambition and long-term sustainability.
