Dr. Matt Pyle

Biography

Matt Pyle received a B.S. in Physics in 2001 and a B.E. in Aerospace Engineering in 2002 from the University of Notre Dame. He earned his Ph.D. in Physics from Stanford University in 2012. Following his doctoral studies, Pyle became a postdoctoral researcher and joined the faculty of the Berkeley Physics department in 2015 as the Michael M. Garland Chair. His research focuses on developing new detector technologies to address fundamental questions about the universe, particularly concerning dark matter and neutrinos. Pyle's current projects involve the design and optimization of massive low-temperature calorimeters for the SuperCDMS low mass experiment, which aims to explore low-mass particles in nuclear physics applications, especially in detecting neutrinoless double beta decay.
