Meet Our Researchers
A truly global venture
CoEPP brings together leading researchers in particle physics from four highly-respected Australian universities to work on global endeavors in high energy physics, advanced computing and accelerator science.
Research into the fundamental building blocks of the universe is a global, cooperative undertaking. Our research students and postdoctorate researchers come from all over the world. The ATLAS collaboration itself has over three thousand physicists from 174 universities in 38 countries. Our international partners hail from some of the world’s leading universities.
