Dr. Robert Halliday specializes in connecting the largest and smallest scales of the universe through the study of Particle Astrophysics and in the unique applications of computing and electronics design in this field. Over his career, he has worked in Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic Ray Physics, Neutrino Astronomy, Gamma-ray Astronomy, Exoplanet Astronomy and Medical Imaging Physics, including an NIH Medical Imaging Fellowship. Currently, his research is focused on the construction of a next-generation neutrino telescope, the Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment (P-ONE), which is a cubic-kilometer scale detector, to be deployed off the coast of Vancouver in 2025.
After completing his B.S. in Specialized Physics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Dr. Halliday went on to complete his Ph.D. studying particle astrophysics at Case Western Reserve University, and then on to working with the neutrino astronomy group at Michigan State University as a post-doctoral Research Associate before joining the physics faculty here at Elmhurst University.
