Professor Brian Cox CBE FRS is a physicist, broadcaster, and author whose work has brought the science of the universe to audiences around the world, combining cutting edge research with an exceptional ability to make complex ideas accessible and compelling.
Brian holds the position of Professor of Particle Physics at Manchester University, serves as a Fellow of The Royal Society, and is The Crick Scholar at The Francis Crick Institute in London. He contributed to the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, recreating conditions from fractions of a second after the Big Bang to reveal the fundamental structure of the universe.
Brian has become one of the most recognisable faces of science in the UK and beyond, serving as the Royal Society Professor for Public Engagement in Science, and as a UN Champion for Space. He has presented several popular science series, including Wonders of the Universe, The Planets, and Forces of Nature, and his books, including Why Does E=mc2? and The Quantum Universe, have helped to frame modern physics for general audiences. He also hosts the podcast A Question of Science and co hosts Radio 4s Infinite Monkey Cage with Robin Ince, blending humour with serious scientific enquiry.
Brian shares his insights through keynote lectures, international tours, and high profile events, using visual storytelling and data to explore how fundamental research, advanced engineering, and human curiosity drive innovation. Audiences gain practical insights into how scientific thinking applies to everyday life, develop a deeper appreciation for humanity's place in the cosmos, and leave with renewed curiosity about the natural world.
