The aim of Prof. Dobbs' research is to improve our understanding of the fundamental constituents of the universe – including its origin, history, and fate – providing new insight into the early universe, where the laws of particle physics and cosmology intersect. His research group at McGill specializes in the design, construction, and operation of novel instrumentation and experiments to explore the early universe. Prof. Dobbs has journeyed to the ends of the earth to deploy his instruments in the best observing conditions, including the geographic South Pole and aboard stratospheric balloons.
