Eric Dahl is a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Northwestern University. He obtained his PhD from Princeton University in 2009. His research focuses on the development and application of particle detectors for dark matter search experiments. Dahl's group specializes in direct detection of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), a leading candidate for dark matter. The group has developed techniques to minimize backgrounds from natural radioactivity in experiments, essential for unambiguously identifying WIMP signals. Dahl is also involved with the PICO Collaboration, which utilizes bubble chambers to improve sensitivity in dark matter detection. His recent work includes extensive experiments using liquid xenon in dual-phase time projection chambers. He serves as the LZ Instrument Scientist, working on large xenon-based detection systems and exploring innovative detection technologies for low-threshold nuclear recoil detection.
