Dr. Abedin Abedin

My research is primarily focused on understanding how planetary systems form and evolve, in particular the solar system. That involves investigation of the dynamical evolution and collisional history of planets and small solar system bodies (comets, asteroids and meteoroids) through computer models and crater observations. These models, along with crater records, inform about the planet formation processes and their subsequent dynamical evolution.

Dr. Robin Kleiv

Describe your areas of expertise: I am a theoretical particle physicist working on hadronic physics. I am currently working on research projects related to exotic hadrons (e.g., hadrons that are neither mesons nor baryons) and on hadronic contributions to the anomalous magnetic moments of the muon and tau lepton.

Dr. Mark Paetkau

I am interested in all research topics where physics meets other disciplines.

Dr. Anusha Venkataraman

My research integrates nanotechnology, materials science, and environmental sustainability to develop practical solutions for electronics, environmental monitoring, and clean technologies. I focus on detecting and mitigating microplastics in municipal waste and compost using spectroscopic and physical characterization methods, in collaboration with community partners. I also work with researchers at UVic to develop sustainable materials and sensing technologies, including low-cost nanoink-printed gas sensors for workplace safety. I am also committed to integrating research into undergraduate education through student-led projects in quantum materials, energy systems, sustainable technologies, and AI-enabled physics learning tools.
