As the legend goes, Tim Berners-Lee, an employee at a world class  European  particle physics laboratory called CERN,  invented the world wide web originally for the team of physicists working there. Paul Sanghera was a member of that team of physicists. It tells us that using cutting edge technology including IT is a requirement in particle physics research. Paul has authored and co-authored more than 100 research papers in physics published in well reputed European and American research journals. He has worked at world class state-of-the-art research laboratories from Cornell to CERN.

Research Labs

To study and test some aspects of the quantum nature of subatomic particles such as quarks, Paul participated in an experiment set up on the largest particle accelerator/collider in the world, CERN's Large Electron-Positron (LEP) collider. Figure to the right shows the aerial view of the collider as it straddles the French-Swiss border, 17 miles in circumference and 100 m under the ground. This accelerator was slater converted to large hadron collider (LHC), featured in a movie Angels and Demons.

Contributed to developing and testing the software and hardware components of the OPAL detector for the Large Electron Positron (LEP) collider at CERN.

Participated in conducting experiments by using the OPAL detector at LEP to test the quantum theory of subatomic particles such as quarks, called qunatum chromodynamics. One of the two physicists at CERN who devised a state-of-the-art technique to determine the strength of the nuclear force from the experimental data.

Wilson Sychrotron Nuclear Laboratory, Cornell University. Participated in conducting experiment on subatomic particles, the fundamental building blocks of matter, that compose nano-particles. Involved making measurements of time in nanoseconds and size in nanometers .Initiated and led the studies of the qunatum nature of the anuclear force and the subatomic particles.

Authored and co-authored more than 100 research papers in physics published in well reputed European and American research journals:
