Exploring the fundamental symmetries of nature, one rare isotope at a time
I’m an experimental nuclear physicist, quantum engineer and professor at Queen’s University.
Our team uses rare isotopes and quantum sensors to investigate neutrinos and the weak interaction. Our research spans tabletop experiments and collaborations at major facilities.
Selected research
We study neutrinos and the weak interaction through the tiny recoils left by nuclear decay.
At BeEST, superconducting sensors probe neutrino properties. With SALER at FRIB, we are developing online recoil measurements for precision weak physics.
We also work on levitated optomechanics and the search for neutrinoless double-beta decay with XLZD. Explore all research.
