Professor

Department of Physics and Astronomy

Dr. Alison Lister is the Associate Dean, Student and Supervisor Support effective May 1 on a 3-year term. Alison is a Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, where in addition to being the graduate advisor (for the time being) she “smashes stuff together” at high energy to study the fundamental building blocks of nature and their interactions. Her favourite quark is the top quark and she a happy to bore you with lengthy explanations as to why that is.

  • ATLAS 2023

    June 26-30, 2023

    The University of British Columbia hosted the ATLAS Conference in June 2023 with Dr. Alison Lister being the Organizing Committee Chair. This was the first Atlas Experiment meeting held in North America. Dr. Lister is passionate about her research on the ATLAS experiment which spans areas of interest related to Particle and Nuclear Physics. The Atlas Experiment is the largest particle destector in the world, and is operated by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). The UBC ATLAS group’s mission is to encourage research in is the wide range of physics beyond the standard model (Long-Lived Particles, Vector-Like Quarks, Leptoquarks), precision measurements in the top sector (including EFT interpretation), and has a strong involvement in the development of tracking systems and the use of machine learning techniques in particle physics.
