Maaz is a PhD candidate in Theoretical Physics at the University of Melbourne. His research focuses on axion models and physics beyond the Standard Model, particularly questions related to the strong CP problem and flavour symmetries. Alongside his academic work, he is an active member of the university’s Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Committee.
Read MoreIn the world of physics, it often takes something mind-bogglingly big to detect something tiny. This is true of the Hyper-Kamiokande experiment in Japan that has been designed to understand subatomic particles called neutrinos – the most abundant type of matter particle in nature.
Read MoreDr Robert James is a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Melbourne. He leads statistical inference for the world-leading LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment, which utilises a deep underground dual-phase liquid xenon time projection chamber. In Australia he is currently leading physics and simulation work for the SABRE South experiment, as it prepares for initial commissioning and data taking. He is also involved in R&D efforts through the XLZD consortium to optimise the design of a next-generation liquid xenon detector to maximise its physics reach.
