Biography

Professor Barbeau’s research interests are predominantly in neutrino astroparticle physics, focused on studying coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering, novel searches for dark matter in the universe, and searches for zero neutrino double beta decay. The unifying aspect of his work is a common goal of new creative detector development to solve complex problems. His contributions include the design and performance characterization of acoustic positioning systems for neutrino experiments and significant findings related to coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering, measured in natural germanium at the Spallation Neutron Source, Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
