Biography

Jodi Cooley is a Professor and the Executive Director at SNOLAB, affiliated with the Department of Physics, Engineering Physics & Astronomy at Queen's University. Her research interests lie in the field of Particle Astrophysics, particularly focusing on the constituents of dark matter and their interactions with ordinary matter. Cooley's work involves using sophisticated detectors situated deep underground to filter out cosmic rays and other extraneous particles, which allows her to study these rare interactions. She has a PhD from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and has dedicated her career to narrowing down the enigmatic characteristics of dark matter and its significant role in the universe. Through her innovative research approach, she aims to advance understanding of the non-luminescent matter that constitutes approximately 85% of the universe, utilizing advanced shielding materials to minimize background radiation influences on her experiments.
