Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKatherine Pachal is a research scientist and adjunct professor with a decade of experience probing beyond-Standard-Model physics through hands-on experiments such as DarkLight, ATLAS, and PIONEER. Trained at Oxford (PhD) and active in Canada’s national lab ecosystem at TRIUMF and UBC, she combines precision experimental techniques with collaborative leadership across large international teams. Her postdoctoral work at Duke and Simon Fraser sharpened her expertise in detector development and data-driven searches for new physics signatures. Katherine actively seeks new collaborators and bridges academic research with national laboratory infrastructure, often taking on roles that translate complex theory into executable experiments. A practical experimentalist who also values outreach and partnership, she can be reached directly at kpachal at triumf.ca.
