As a technical student in the Information Technology Department for CERN, Williams will be part of a group of international database administrators and software developers, working on the vast computing grid supporting a series of LHC experiments.

This grid relies on streams of information coming to it from ten computer installations, based in different parts of the world.

Williams will be part of the team ensuring that all this information comes in at the right time, is handled properly and that the minimum amount of time is lost if there are network failures, so that work is delayed as little as possible.

Williams said: 'I'm very excited about being involved in this.
