Dr. Pekka Kalervo Sinervo

Pekka K. Sinervo, Department of Physics, University of Toronto, was a leader of the team credited with discovering the top quark, one of the 12 fundamental building blocks of nature. He has made precise measurements of the properties of top and bottom quarks and is currently a proponent of the ATLAS experiment to unveil the origins of mass in our world. He has played important roles in the cultivation and advancement of physics research and education in Canada, e.g., by chairing the NSERC/Canadian Association of Physicists review of Canadian subatomic physics and the NSERC Reallocation Steering Committee on Subatomic Physics.
