Dr. Jeff Tseng

Biography

Jeff Tseng is an experimental particle physicist at the University of Oxford, focusing on particle astrophysics and cosmology. His research primarily involves neutrinos, particularly in understanding their role in core-collapse supernovae and the mysteries surrounding their mass. Tseng is involved with the SNO+ experiment located at SNOLAB in Canada, where he aims to investigate neutrino-less double beta decay—an important topic that addresses the mass of neutrinos. Over the years, he has participated in significant collider experiments at CDF and Fermilab, as well as at CERN's LHC. As part of his work, Tseng is co-convening a group focusing on supernovae and neutrino observations, contributing to a global network that seeks to detect early bursts of neutrinos during such cosmic events. His contributions are pertinent as they provide insights into the processes leading to the formation of black holes, giving him a unique view into the inner workings and explosive nature of supernovae. Additionally, he is assisting in writing software to help monitor the camera of the Vera Rubin Observatory's LSST, aiming to enhance the monitoring of supernovae events in our galaxy.
