Matthew Brock's publication record centers on the design, construction, and testing of large-scale scientific instruments used in physics and astronomy. This includes detector hardware for the LHCb particle physics experiment at CERN (such as the VELO tracking detector and RICH detector) and fiber-positioning and spectroscopy systems for astronomical telescopes like WEAVE and HARMONI. The work is largely engineering-focused, dealing with the practical build, assembly, and performance testing of instruments rather than data analysis or theoretical modeling.
