Trevor J. Stocki

Dr. Trevor J. Stocki is a Researcher at the Radiation Protection Bureau of Health Canada, specializing in environmental radioactivity and nuclear nonproliferation. His work integrates machine learning, muon physics, and Monte Carlo techniques to address global radiation safety challenges. He collaborates with international bodies like the IAEA and contributes to the Canadian CRIPT team for cosmic ray inspection technologies.

Education: B.Sc. (Honours Physics, University of Alberta, 1991); Ph.D. (Physics, University of British Columbia, early 2000s). Postdoctoral research at Simon Fraser University focused on laser trapping of radioactive atoms.

Research Interests:

• Machine learning applications for distinguishing nuclear explosion signatures from anthropogenic radioxenon sources
• Muon tomography and detection of special materials via muonic X-ray spectroscopy
• Environmental modeling of radioactive plumes using Monte Carlo simulations
• Development of flash ADC systems for high-purity germanium detectors in muon projects

Recent projects include leading an IAEA working group on controlled nuclear releases and developing algorithms for cosmic ray inspection systems. He actively seeks M.Sc. students to advance muon-based detection technologies.

Collaborations: Canadian CRIPT team, TRIUMF, and global CTBT monitoring networks.
