معرفی
Gwen Grinyer is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics within the Faculty of Science at the University of Regina. As a CAP Fellow, she leads an active research program focused on nuclear structure and astrophysics of rare isotopes, utilizing major international facilities including TRIUMF (Canada), GANIL (France), FRIB (USA), and ISOLDE (Switzerland).
Her research encompasses ultra-high precision measurements to test the Standard Model of electroweak interactions, high-resolution gamma-ray and charged particle spectroscopy for studying exotic nuclei in-beam reactions and decays, and the design of state-of-the-art instrumentation for rare isotope investigations. These studies address fundamental questions about nuclear force evolution at stability extremes and nucleosynthesis in explosive astrophysical events like neutron-star mergers and supernovae.
Dr. Grinyer teaches undergraduate courses including Electricity and Magnetism (PHYS 201), Electromagnetism I (PHYS 311), and Nuclear Physics (PHYS 432), while actively recruiting motivated students for summer research projects, M.Sc./Ph.D. theses, and postdoctoral fellowships.
Scientific Awards:
- CAP Fellow (Canadian Association of Physicists)
She maintains significant collaborative ties with global rare-isotope facilities, indicating successful grant acquisition for experimental campaigns, though specific funding sources are not detailed. Her research group emphasizes hands-on instrumentation development and data analysis for frontier nuclear physics experiments.
