The role of the Research Committee is to oversee research at the Centre. It is responsible for the Centre’s scientific goals and performance indicators, and for building and maintaining the cross-node scientific research collaborations.
As Centre Director, Professor Barberio will be responsible for the Centre’s overall strategic direction and operations, with advice from the relevant Centre committees.
Professor Nicole Bell is an international leader in particle and astroparticle physics. She has broad expertise in dark matter phenomenology spanning direct detection, indirect detection, collider searches, astroparticle physics and cosmology.
Associate Professor Paul Jackson is an experimental particle physicist specialising in searches for beyond the Standard Model physics, primarily using detectors situated at particle colliders.
Professor Cedric Simenel is an internationally recognised leader in quantum many-body approaches to describe low-energy nuclear dynamics. Whilst a theorist, he works closely with experimentalists in order to provide a strong synergy between these two aspects of nuclear physics.
Associate Professor Stephen Tims has been the driving force behind the ANU AMS actinide measurement program for over 10 years.
Michael E. Tobar is currently a Professor of Physics at the University of Western Australia School of Physics. Notably, between 2009 and 2014, he was awarded a Laureate Fellowship by the Australian Research Council.
Professor Phillip Urquijo is a leading experimental particle physicist, with considerable experience in the management of large physics experiments, and is involved in the development and construction of SABRE South and data analysis tools for experiments at SUPL.
Professor Anthony Williams is an internationally recognized leader in the field of theoretical nuclear and particle physics. He has the role of Deputy Director in the Centre as well as being the Adelaide Node Manager. He won the Boas Medal for his research in particle physics in 2001 and is a Fellow of the American Institute of Physics and the Australian Institute of Physics.
