Assistant Professor Juan Pablo Yáñez Garza is affiliated with the Department of Physics at the University of Alberta and the Arthur B. McDonald Canadian Astroparticle Physics Institute. His research focuses on neutrino physics, particularly neutrino oscillations, atmospheric neutrino production, and dark matter detection through experiments like IceCube and P-ONE. University of Alberta, Department of Physics (2018–present) Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship (2016–2018) Postdoctoral Fellow, DESY-Zeuthen (2014–2016) PhD, Experimental Physics, Humboldt Universität zu Berlin (2014) Yáñez Garza’s research explores fundamental questions in neutrino physics, including oscillation parameters, neutrinoless double beta decay, and the origins of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays. He develops advanced detection technologies such as novel photodetectors and acoustic positioning systems for large-scale experiments like IceCube and the Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment. Scientific awards include the Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship . His work spans collaborations with IceCube, SNO+, and VERITAS, focusing on multimessenger astronomy and indirect dark matter searches. Current projects involve refining neutrino interaction models, improving cosmic ray composition analysis, and deploying next-generation detectors for high-energy neutrino studies.
