Pietro Giampa

I completed both my undergraduate degree in Physics and my M.Sc. in Particle Physics at Royal Holloway University of London (UK), where my Master’s research focused on the Dark Matter Time Projection Chamber (DMTPC) directional detection experiment. Following this, I pursued a Ph.D. in Astroparticle Physics at Queen’s University in Canada, contributing to the DEAP-3600 dark matter experiment located at SNOLAB. During my doctoral studies, I was honoured to be the first recipient of the TRIUMF Otto Hausser Fellowship. After my fellowship, I transitioned to a research scientist position at SNOLAB, before returning to TRIUMF in 2023 to take up my current role as a scientist.
