Jean-François Arguin joined the Department of Physics at the Université de Montréal in July 2012 as an assistant professor following years of work abroad. Having completed his bachelor's degree in physics-mathematics at the department, he pursued a master's degree in particle physics under Paul Taras. His research, focused on measuring the mass of the top quark, garnered recognition and led to him receiving the Tanaka Prize from the American Physical Society and the award from the Association of American Universities. After earning his PhD at the University of Toronto, he held a Chamberlain Fellowship for postdoctoral studies at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory from 2005 to 2010, after which he took a permanent position as a research physicist. Arguin's expertise in top quark physics and new physics theories, particularly related to supersymmetry, has made him a recognized figure in the field. He co-directs ATLAS research activities on the top quark and pixel detector testing. His commitment to quality research and teaching has been appreciated by students at all levels in the department. Arguin continues to contribute significantly to Canadian and international projects in particle physics, specifically focusing on supersymmetric particles and exotic particle production within the Standard Model framework.
