University of South Dakota
SuperCDMS SNOLAB Operations Scientist
Joel Sander is a professor at the University of South Dakota in the Department of Physics who is interested in answering some of the biggest questions including the nature of dark matter. He has an almost 30-year history of searching for dark matter having joined SuperCDMS as a graduate student in 1999. His areas of focus include data acquisition, data quality, experimental operations and science analyses having led both searches for WIMPs and fractionally charged particles. Sander is also a member of COHERENT where his group works to decrease the systematic uncertainty limiting our measurement of a similar coherent-elastic-nuclear-scattering channel to the one most often used in WIMP searches.
