Theo Rutter

Theo Rutter has a diverse work experience in the field of mechanical engineering. From 2008 to 2009, they worked as a Design and Manufacturing Engineer at Pilot Drilling Control Ltd. In this role, they were involved in designing and manufacturing processes.

From 2011 to 2013, Theo was a Mechanical Engineer at CERN (European Centre for Nuclear Research). Theo was part of the EN-MEF-EBE group, where they focused on designing, analyzing, and optimizing mechanical components and assemblies for particle accelerators and their associated detectors. Their major project involved working on NA62, a fixed-target experiment, as well as contributing to projects like CMS and the ELENA upgrade to the Anti-proton Decelerator (AD).

In 2014, Theo joined RAL (Rutherford Appleton Laboratory) as a Mechanical Design Engineer. Their role primarily revolved around developing and optimizing contemporary accelerator systems, such as resistive magnet systems, charge-exchange injection, and negative ion sources. Theo was particularly involved in the conceptual design and development of the RAL Penning H- Ion source for the prototype Front End Test Stand (FETS) and potential high power proton drivers.

Since 2016, Theo has been working at Advanced Oncotherapy plc as a Mechanical Engineer and MSAI team leader. As the technical lead for a small group, they take charge of the design-to-manufacture process of high-precision support and alignment structures for particle accelerators and medical subsystems. Theo has also been actively involved in the detailed design and integration of high-precision support structures for the complete LIGHT machine.

Overall, Theo Rutter's work experience showcases their expertise in mechanical engineering, with a focus on designing components for particle accelerators, medical subsystems, and contemporary accelerator systems.

Theo Rutter obtained a Master of Engineering (MEng) degree in Mechanical Engineering with professional development from Brunel University London. Theo attended this university from 2006 to 2011. Prior to that, from 2004 to 2006, they studied Maths, Further Maths, Physics, and Japanese at County Upper School in Bury St Edmunds, earning Advanced Levels.
