Biographical Sketch:
Clarke Hardy received his Ph.D. from Stanford where he worked under the supervision of Prof. Giorgio Gratta. His work included contributions to the nEXO neutrinoless double beta decay experiment and a tabletop search for new forces using optically levitated microspheres. Prior to that, he completed his M.Sc. and B.A.Sc. at Queen’s University in Canada, working on the PICO dark matter search.
Research:
Clarke Hardy’s research focuses on experimental tests of fundamental physics using both large-scale detectors and precision small-scale instruments. He is particularly interested in open questions in neutrino physics, such as the origin of neutrino mass and the possible existence of sterile neutrinos.
Education:
Ph.D., Stanford University, 2025
