Gabriel Orebi Gann is an Associate Professor of Physics at the University of California, Berkeley. He attended the University of Cambridge, where he earned a BA MSci in Natural Sciences from 2000 to 2004, and then obtained a DPhil in Particle Nuclear Physics from the University of Oxford in 2008. He conducted post-doctoral research at the University of Pennsylvania in Professor Klein's group, working on the SNO+ experiment, a successor to the SNO project. Since joining the U.C. Berkeley faculty in 2012, his research focuses on experimental particle physics, specifically weakly interacting particles notably neutrinos and dark matter. Gabriel has been deeply involved in the SNO+ neutrino experiment, a groundbreaking project that aims to resolve questions surrounding neutrinos and their behavior, particularly their role in solar phenomena and potential impacts on fundamental physics. His work has led to significant advancements in the understanding of electron neutrinos and processes such as neutrinoless double beta decay. In addition to SNO+, he is integrating efforts to develop the Theia experiment, which seeks to utilize advanced detection technologies to push the boundaries of neutrino research.
