Dr. Dominique Trischuk

Biography

I am an experimental particle physicist working at the University of Victoria and the Large Hadron Collider. My research focuses on designing and building the next generation of particle tracking detectors and searching for new physics, particularly long-lived particles. Since joining the University of Victoria, I have contributed significantly to the ATLAS Collaboration, analyzing high-energy proton collisions and enhancing the discovery potential of our experiments. Throughout my career, I have published numerous papers in reputable journals, highlighting my research in fundamental particles and the forces of nature. I earned my Bachelor’s degree from the University of Toronto and my PhD from the University of British Columbia. My work has implications for our understanding of the universe’s origin and structure, particularly in exploring the mysteries surrounding dark matter and the matter-antimatter asymmetry. My group is engaged in developing advanced silicon tracking detectors, particularly for the High-Luminosity LHC upgrades. I am also involved in training the next generation of physicists. I welcome students interested in joining my research group to explore opportunities for undergraduate and graduate studies in experimental particle physics.
