Dr. Darren Grant studies the properties of some of nature’s most elusive fundamental particles through the development of ultra-sensitive detectors deployed in extreme locations around the globe. He obtained his Ph.D. from Carleton University investigating the properties of solar neutrinos with Canada’s Sudbury Neutrino Observatory. Dr. Grant is currently the spokesperson for the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, is a recent recipient of NSERC-Canada’s E.W.R. Steacie Memorial Fellowship, and elected member of the College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists of the Royal Society of Canada.
