معرفی
David Hanna is the Rutherford Professor of Physics at McGill University's Department of Physics. His research spans experimental high energy physics, particle physics, and astrophysics, with contributions to collaborations such as ZEUS, STACEE, VERITAS, and HELIX. He has developed instrumentation for detectors including the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME).
- Education: B.Sc. (McGill, 1975), Ph.D. (Harvard, 1980)
Research interests include ground-based gamma-ray astronomy, cosmic ray isotope measurements, and dark energy studies. His work combines particle physics experiments at CERN and DESY with astrophysical observations using innovative detector systems. Recent projects involve the VERITAS gamma-ray telescope array and the HELIX balloon-borne spectrometer.
Teaching responsibilities in 2022-23 include PHYS449, PHYS479, and PHYS620. He has contributed to detector design for multiple collaborations and pioneered instrumentation like the Compton Imager for security applications.
