Professor Michael Roney's research interests focus on studies of fundamental particle interactions and the development of subatomic particle detectors. He has published widely in electroweak physics and studies in the flavour sector of the Standard Model, as well as related detector technologies. His recent research involves searches for evidence of unexplained new fundamental physics in the flavour sector using precision measurements and direct searches for new particles and processes. He has led analysis teams in the OPAL Collaboration and the SLAC-based BaBar collaboration. Furthermore, Professor Roney serves as the BaBar Collaboration Spokesperson and leads the Canadian effort in the Belle-II project, a 10.58 GeV electron-positron collider at the KEK laboratory in Japan that is designed to search for new physics at the precision frontier. He has made significant contributions to the study of decay properties of particles and has worked extensively on developing instrumentation for subatomic particle physics experiments, including for the T2K experiment.
