Dr. Justin Albert

Biography

Justin Albert is an Associate Professor at the University of Victoria, specializing in experimental particle and astroparticle physics. He holds a BA from Harvard University and both an MA and PhD from Princeton University. His research focuses on fundamental physics and the development of new technologies and techniques aimed at addressing humankind's ultimate questions regarding nature and the foundational principles that govern the behavior of the universe at both the smallest and largest scales. A significant aspect of his work addresses critical questions such as the composition of the universe and the implications of its accelerated expansion. Albert's notable research includes studies on CP violation, a phenomenon central to the Standard Model of particle physics observed in the decay of particles. His ongoing collaborations are particularly concerned with the search for CP violation in the decays of bottom quarks, utilizing the BaBar detector at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Program. Albert encourages student engagement in physics projects and invites discussions on general physics inquiries.
