Bio: Darren's research focuses on measurements to advance knowledge of neutrinos—one of nature’s most elusive fundamental particles—as well as direct and indirect searches for the elusive dark matter. Grant’s work contributes to the understanding of the universe and our place in it. Their CERC supports three areas of innovation: data analyses of Antarctica’s IceCube Neutrino Observatory; the development of next generation detectors for large-scale neutrino observatories; and enhancing the reach of observations that involve multiple astrophysical messengers. This work will provide the catalyst to establish an international centre in British Columbia and have substantial impact on the international particle physics arena, cementing Canada’s leadership in the field of multi-messenger neutrino astrophysics.    Learn More: See his faculty webpage here: Darren Grant - Department of Physics - Simon Fraser University See his Canada Excellence Research Chair in Astroparticle Physics page here: Canada Excellence Research Chairs - Home Read about the IceCube Observatory: IceCube – IceCube Neutrino Observatory What is the extreme universe?
