Dr John White: Received my MSc in particle physics in 1994 with a 
thesis on the spatial resolution of electrons in the ATLAS electromagnetic 
detector. In 1998, I completed my PhD in particle physics on the OPAL
detector at LEP with a measurement of the hadronic decays of the tau
lepton. Work during the period at the OPAL detector included online
computing and operation of a sub-detector. During the OPAL period 
participated in the work and experience of the the first possible 
observations of the Higgs boson.

In the Grid computing era of the European Data Grid and EGEE projects,
I worked on the development of and direct user support of a Grid Database 
access system and a proxy delegation service. I participated in the 
production and deployment of the encrypted data storage system. In 
the later stages of these projects I was made the security cluster manager 
and the deputy manager of the overall gLite middleware effort.
