Dr. J Roney

Biography

J. Michael Roney is a Professor of Physics at the University of Victoria. His research focuses on experimental particle physics and the development of detector instrumentation. He has significant expertise in flavour precision electroweak phenomena and has been involved in extensive studies of fundamental particle interactions. Roney has published widely in the field of electroweak physics and the flavour sector of the Standard Model, with his recent work centering around searches for evidence of unexplained new fundamental physics in this area, utilizing precision measurements and direct searches for new particles and processes. He has led analysis teams in prominent collaborations such as the OPAL Collaboration at CERN and the SLAC-based BaBar collaboration, where he has served as the Physics Analysis Coordinator and currently leads as Spokesperson. Looking forward, Roney is at the forefront of the Canadian effort in the Belle-II project, a next-generation electron-positron collider aimed at pushing the precision frontier in particle physics. His work emphasizes the importance of international collaboration in making groundbreaking discoveries at the fundamental level.
