Gilles Gerbier has joined Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 as the Canada Excellence Research Chair in Particle Astrophysics. Dr. Gerbier is working both in the Department of Physics, Engineering Physics and Astronomy and at in Sudbury, researching the mysteries surrounding dark matter.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I카지노 게임 컬렉션m very excited to work at SNOLAB,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Gerbier. 카지노 게임 컬렉션It is a unique site 카지노 게임 컬렉션 one of the world카지노 게임 컬렉션s premier underground research laboratories 카지노 게임 컬렉션 and it is operated as a clean room. The technicians, engineers and scientists working there are highly skilled, and the resources, availability and equipment are second-to-none. Once I found out that the CERC funding was in place for the chair at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, moving to Canada was a straightforward decision to make.카지노 게임 컬렉션
The goals of Dr. Gerbier카지노 게임 컬렉션s research include strengthening the Canadian presence in a joint North-American/European SNOLAB project to search for low-mass dark matter particles and facilitating the sharing and transfer of expertise and knowledge between European and Canadian researchers.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 is a natural home for Dr. Gerbier given our strength in this area,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Principal Daniel Woolf. 카지노 게임 컬렉션He is not only a perfect match for the university카지노 게임 컬렉션s research interests, he is an exceptional leader and mentor, and will be a catalyst for future international collaborations.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Dr. Gerbier is a graduate of the École Centrale Paris, and in 1983, he obtained his PhD from the Université Paris XI for work on neutrino interactions in bubble chambers. Following a postdoctoral fellowship at the 카지노게임사이트 of California, Berkeley, he became a founding member and team leader of the Beijing-Paris-Rome-Saclay Collaboration, producing seminal work on the characterization of scintillators for dark matter searches.

In 2005, he became the team leader of the EDELWEISS experiment and in 2010 of the EURECA European collaboration, dedicated to the direct detection of dark matter particles with bolometric detectors located at the Modane Underground Laboratory (LSM) in France.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Attracting one of the world카지노 게임 컬렉션s leading researchers in particle astrophysics to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s will have tremendous benefits for not only our scholarly community, but for all Canadians,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Steven Liss, Vice-Principal (Research). 카지노 게임 컬렉션Dr. Gerbier카지노 게임 컬렉션s research into the mysteries of dark matter will deepen our understanding of the vast complexities of our universe. His work with colleagues at SNOLAB will strengthen our research ties with scholars worldwide and secure the reputation of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s and Canada as leaders in the field.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Dr. Gerbier is also a major contributor to the astroparticle community. He has served as director of the LSM, project manager of the large European Network: Integrated Large Infrastructures for Astroparticle Science, and co-ordinator of the France-China Underground Lab network.
