Canada Excellence Research Chairs & KM
The Knowledge Mobilization Hub helps SFU’s Canada Excellence Research Chairs (CERCs) turn their cutting-edge research into action by facilitating knowledge mobilization planning, activities, and strategies to fit each program’s unique needs.

Darren Grant
Dr. Grant’s research uses tiny, fast-moving particles called neutrinos to explore some of the most powerful events in the universe. These particles are created in places like the Sun, nuclear reactors, and deep space—and they can travel across the universe almost without being stopped. To study them, Dr. Grant’s team works with giant detectors like the IceCube Observatory in Antarctica and is helping design new ones, including a deep-sea observatory off Canada’s Pacific coast. The goal is to build a global network of detectors that can give us a clearer picture of the universe by combining signals from different sources.
