Jens Dilling in 2018

Jens Dilling is the associate laboratory director of physical sciences at TRIUMF, Canada's particle accelerator centre.

Life

Education

Jens Dilling obtained both his undergraduate and doctorate degrees in physics from the University of Heidelberg in Germany.[1]

Career

Dilling began his career at TRIUMF in 1995. His research focuses on characterizing the strong force using precise mass measurements, in particular investigating atomic physics techniques applied to nuclear physics using particle accelerators.[1] He proposed, co-designed, and led the construction of the TRIUMF Ion Trap for Atomic and Nuclear Science (TITAN).
