Overview
About
PhD 2002 Heidelberg University, Germany
Postdoctoral Researcher 2002-2003, Heidelberg University, Germany
Postdoctoral Fellow at Queen's University, Kingston, ON 2003-2007
Assistant Professor, University of Alberta 2007-2013
Associate Professor, University of Alberta 2013-now
Sabbatical at SNOLAB from August 2015 to August 2016
Research
Direct detection of dark matter, high energy neutrino physics, solar neutrino physics, low background detection of radioactivity.
I work with bubble chambers which have excellent sensitivity to dark matter particles that are interacting via their spin. I am an expert at developing and operating new particle detectors and I am excited about the prospects of finding out what makes the sources of the highest energy neutrinos from cosmic sources work.
Courses
PHYS 295 - Experimental Physics I
Contemporary methods of experimental physics with measurements from classical and modern physics. Analysis and graphing of experimental data using programming techniques. Estimation and statistical treatment of experimental uncertainties consistent with standard practice in physics. Planning and record keeping for experimental work, written presentation of laboratory results. Prerequisites: MATH 101 or 115 or 118 or 146, one of PHYS 124, PHYS 144, or EN PH 131; and one of PHYS 126, PHYS 146, PHYS 181, or PHYS 130. Note: To proceed to PHYS 295 after taking PHYS 126 a minimum grade of B+ in PHYS 126 and some experience of computer programming are strongly recommended.
