What are the biggest strengths and opportunities that you see for the Department of Physics in the next year?

I think it also shows exactly why both teaching and research together are so important. Being able to share knowledge that I helped discover and which was not yet in any textbook was incredibly fun and rewarding. However, if you force me to pick just one I'd have to go with particle physics because I had the privilege to be teaching this course just after we announced the discovery of the Higgs boson. The first of these is great because you get to introduce students to both special relativity and quantum mechanics-both of which involve concepts that are incredibly different from the Newtonian physics they have learned about up to that point. That's a tricky question to answer since there are two courses that I absolutely love teaching: the second-year introduction to modern physics course and the fourth-year introduction to particle physics course. I'm also working as part of a University of Alberta team leading the development of a new, high-energy neutrino detector, P-ONE, deep in the Pacific Ocean off the west coast of Vancouver Island. I now work on the IceCube experiment working with even higher-energy neutrinos, which create tiny flashes of light in the ice 2 kilometres below the surface of the South Pole. I used to work on the ATLAS Experiment at CERNwhere we found that last missing piece of the standard model, the Higgs boson. I study extremely high energy physics interactions searching for some of the new physics that we know must exist beyond our current model of particle physics. Tell us about the focus of your research program. Learn more about Moore, and his vision for the department. Now, Moore is stepping into a new role as incoming chair in the Department of Physics, effective July 1.

A former member of the ATLAS Experiment at CERN that discovered the long-sought Higgs boson, in 2012, Roger Moore is no stranger to exploring new frontiers in particle physics.
