Pekka K. Sinervo, C.M.

Sinervo is an experimental particle physicist who has studied quarks[1], gluons[2] and vector bosons[3] [4][5] [6] using high-energy electron and proton collisions. He is a professor of physics at University of Toronto, where he has taught and pursued research since 1990.

He is known for his discovery of the top quark[7] and studies of its properties (see, e.g., [8] [9] [10] [11]), along with collaborators in the CDF (Collider Detector at Fermilab) and ATLAS experiments. He was also a member of one of the teams that discovered the Higgs boson [12]. His earlier work involved the study of mesons with charm quarks and strange quarks, and hadrons with bottom quarks (see, e.g., [13] [14] [15] ) He is currently working on searches for new particles (see, e.g., [16] [17] [18]) and dark matter[19] at the SNOLAB Underground Laboratory, as a member of the SuperCDMS Collaboration[20]. He is a highly cited author having published over 2000 journal articles[21].

Sinervo also served as dean of the Faculty of Arts and Science at the University of Toronto[22] from 2003 to 2008, and as senior vice-president, research at the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research[23] from 2009 to 2015. He has written on international research collaborations, science and Judaism, and popular science (see, e.g., [24] [25]). He is an active member of the Reform Jewish Community of Canada,[26] serving as its president from 2017 to 2021. He currently serves in leadership roles in the Union for Reform Judaism[27] and the World Union for Progressive Judaism[28].

He has been recognized for his contributions with appointments to numerous scientific societies[Note 1] and being made a member[29] of the Order of Canada in 2018.
