Keynote Speaker

Dr Tony Noble, Professor Anthony J. Noble, Canada Research Chair, Physics Department, Queen's University

Dr Anthony Noble is the Director of SNOLAB, a Canada Research Chair in astroparticle physics and an Associate Professor of Physics at Queen's University. Since joining the SNO project in 1994 his main research interest has been in the field of astroparticle physics. However, prior to that he performed numerous accelerator based experiments at TRIUMF, Brookhaven and CERN. He also spent a sabbatical year working on the ANTARES high energy neutrino telescope located on the Mediterranean seabed.

Dr. Noble obtained a B.Sc. in Physics & Math from UNB, and an MSc and PhD (1990) in particle physics from UBC. He then worked at CERN as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Zürich before accepting research scientist positions at the Centre for Research in Particle Physics in Ottawa and TRIUMF. In 2002 he moved to Queen's University as a Canada Research Chair, and has been working with the astroparticle physics group there to develop a world class research team focused on the activities at SNOLAB.
