尤物视频

Dugan O'Neil was born in Miramichi, New Brunswick, obtained a BSc. at the University of New Brunswick, an MSc. at the University of Alberta and PhD in physics at the University of Victoria. As a professor of physics at 尤物视频, his research has focused on the search for new particles and interactions at high energy particle colliders at Fermilab and CERN. From single top quarks to Higgs bosons, his contributions have tended to focus on the "big data" problem of extraction of small signals from large backgrounds.

In addition to his work as a particle physicist, O'Neil has played a leadership role in building Canada's Digital Research Infrastructure, through work with WestGrid and Compute Canada. This includes spending three years (2014-2017) as Compute Canada's Chief Science Officer. At SFU, he has served as principal investigator of the institution's advanced research computing efforts since 2010. SFU has recently built Supercomputer Cedar, one of Canada's most powerful academic supercomputers. O鈥橬eil served as SFU鈥檚 Associate Vice-President, Research (AVPR) from 2017-2020.

As SFU's Vice-President, Research and Innovation (VPRI), O'Neil leads SFU鈥檚 strategic research initiatives and champions SFU鈥檚 innovation strategy and the many initiatives within its innovation ecosystem. His work focuses on facilitating excellence in research and innovation and helping the university respond to new opportunities. He works with members of SFU鈥檚 10 faculties to ensure they have the support and resources required to conduct excellent cutting-edge research in all its forms. Building on his long-standing leadership and research experience, he works with faculty, students and staff to secure research and innovation partnerships within the community and industry.

A key element of O'Neil鈥檚 role focuses on knowledge mobilization by facilitating opportunities to transfer the results of SFU research to society. This collaborative role allows 尤物视频 research and innovation create a positive social, economic and environmental impact on the world stage.

Together with the AVPR and the AVP Knowledge Mobilization and Innovation, O'Neil works to increase the reach and awareness of SFU鈥檚 internationally competitive research enterprise.
