DR. COL GAY TO HEAD THE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS& ASTRONOMY

Col Gay, a leadg expert experimental subatomic and energy ontier physics, will assume the role effective January 1, 2014 for a five-year term. For the past six years Gay has been volved signg and nng the ATLAS experiment, and analyzg the massive amount of data generated by the project. After earng his PhD om the Universy of Toronto, Gay was a CERN associate and a postdoctoral scholar at Harvard Universy, and the H Taft Assistant and Associate Profsor at Yale Universy.

Sortg out all this data to fd the important parts is possible thanks to Gay and his group at UBC. “ATLAS produc one typil hard drive’s worth of data each send, ” says Gay.

“I’m fully fortable sayg there’s more than the Standard Mol out there, ” says Gay. The suatn now, says Gay, is parable to that 1900, when was believed that sentially all of physics was known, except for a few mor problems.
