Wendy Taylor

Wendy Taylor is a Full Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at York University, affiliated with the Faculty of Science. Her research focuses on experimental high-energy particle physics, particularly magnetic monopole detection and custom electronics development for the ATLAS experiment at CERN's LHC. She contributes to searches for new particles and advanced detector technologies.

Her work includes collaborations with the ATLAS experiment, which discovered the Higgs boson in 2012. Taylor's laboratory specializes in cutting-edge electronics for particle detection, partnering with Celestica Inc. for sensor module development. Research areas include high-energy physics, particle detection, and detector instrumentation.

Recent articles highlight contributions to ATLAS's analyses of top quark interactions, jet flavor tagging, and environmental sustainability of computing resources. Her publications address topics like double parton scattering, vector boson production, and heavy-ion collisions.

Taylor's advising and grants are tied to the Physics and Astronomy Graduate Program. Her lab supports global collaborations in detector development and electronics, reflecting York University's commitment to advanced particle physics research.
