TRIUMF Speakers Bureau

TRIUMF has many people who are willing and able to give seminars or colloquia. The expertise extends beyond the obvious like subatomic physics to condensed matter, accelerator physics, and even science policy and the nature of science. TRIUMF personnel can also give lectures at many different levels from talks for the general public and school students to University Departmental Colloquia. Here we will highlight a few of the possibilities:

  • Colloquia
    • Anadi Canepa (Research Scientist): Physics with ATLAS detector at the LHC
    • Reiner Kruecken (Head, Science Division): Experimental Nuclear Physics and Nuclear Astrophysics
    • Nigel Lockyer (TRIUMF DIRECTOR): TRIUMF and its plans
    • Lia Merminga (Head, Accelerator Division): Accelerator Physics or the ARIEL project
    • David Morrissey (Research Scientist): Particle Physics Phenomenology
  • Technical Talks
    • Adam Garnsworthy (Reseach Scientist): Nuclear Structure (experimental)
    • Akira Konaka (Research Scientist): The T2K Experiment
    • Petr Navratil (Research Scientist): Ab initio nuclear calculations
    • Chris Ruiz (Research Scientist): Nuclear Astrophysics (experimental)
    • Isabel Trigger (Research Scientist): Physics with ATLAS detector at the LHC
  • General Public
    • Byron Jennings (Project Coordinator): The nature of science
    • Tim Meyer (Head of Strategic Planning Communication): Science Policy and Public Relations
  • High School
  • What's Hot
    • Jens Dilling (Deputy Division Head - Science): Recent mass measurements with the TITAN Ion Trap
    • Makoto Fujiwara (Research Scientist): The ALPHA Experiment (anti-hydrogen)
    • Kendall Mahn / Mike Wilking (Research Associate): T2K Results
    • Paul Schaffer (Deputy Division Head - Nuclear Medicine): Recent advances in medical imaging

In addition to the its staff, TRIUMF has a large user community. These users are located at universities across Canada and around the world. We would be happy to direct you to members of the community close to you who could give seminars.

  • External Speakers
