Head of TRIUMF leaving UBC for top job in U.S. lab, The head of TRIUMF at the University of B.C. is leaving for the top job at America's premier national laboratory for particle physics research in Chicago. Nigel Lockyer,
Cheap Oakley Sunglasses, director of TRIUMF laboratory for particle and nuclear physics and a professor of physics and astronomy at UBC, has been selected to become the next director of the U.S. Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, the University of Chicago announced Thursday. U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz said Lockyer will be a terrific leader for Fermilab.
He brings to the laboratory a truly impressive record of excellence as both a scientist and an administrator, said Moniz, in a statement. His significant contributions to high-energy physics are widely recognized, and he has also made his mark in other fields, including nuclear medicine. An experimental particle physicist, Lockyer,

In 1980, he graduated with a doctorate in particle physics and went as a post-doctoral fellow to Stanford where he spent four years working at its Linear Accelerator Center, studying what happens to electrons when they're sped up and collided with other electrons and particles.
He was later hired by the University of Pennsylvania. There, he led a team of 600 scientists working on an experiment at Chicago's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. As Fermilab director,
