Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCarsten Krauss is a professor and experimental astroparticle physicist with 14 years of faculty experience focused on dark matter searches and neutrino physics, currently based at the University of Alberta and active at SNOLAB. He leads and contributes to major international collaborations including PICO, SNO+, and the emerging P-ONE neutrino observatory in the Pacific, combining detector development, calibration and long-term operations. His work spans hands-on commissioning of novel detectors—from micro-pattern trackers to bubble chambers—and the analysis driving searches for neutrinoless double beta decay and dark matter. As Director of the Institute for Particle Physics he also shapes Canadian strategy and training in particle physics. Carsten’s background includes doctoral work in elementary particle physics at Heidelberg and postdoctoral leadership building experiments at SNOLAB, reflecting a career that bridges precision instrumentation and big-picture science goals. Notably, he brings rare field-experiment experience in both deep underground and ocean-based neutrino detection efforts.
