New Scientist presents …
The search for dark matter
7.00-8.30pm Wednesday 7 June | Conway Hall, Red Lion Square, London, W1G 9DT
Jocelyn Monroe
Why do scientists believe in a substance that they can’t see and has never been directly detected? And why do they think there’s six times as much of it in the universe than normal, visible matter?
Join Jocelyn Monroe, a leading experimental particle physicist, and a panel of New Scientist journalists for a deep dive into dark matter. You’ll discover why our current model of the universe needs this mysterious substance to stop galaxies tearing themselves apart. You’ll also learn how physicists around the world are striving to detect dark matter directly, including at a laboratory 2 kilometres underground in Canada.
Jocelyn Monroe is an experimental particle physicist, studying dark matter and neutrinos. Jocelyn currently works on the DarkSide-20k and QUEST-DMC direct dark matter detection experiments, focussing on novel particle detector instrumentation development and deployment. Jocelyn joined the Royal Holloway, University of London Physics Department in 2011, founding the Dark Matter & Neutrino research group within the Centre for Particle Physics. From 2009 Jocelyn was an Assistant Professor in the MIT Physics Department. From 2006-09 she was a Pappalardo Fellow in MIT's Laboratory for Nuclear Science. Jocelyn earned her Ph.D. from Columbia University in 2006.
