Bruce Gaulin
Distinguished University Professor,
Physics & Astronomy
Brockhouse Chair in the Physics of Materials
Research Interests: Geometrically frustrated magnets, Quantum Magnets with singlet ground states, High temperature superconductors.
Dr. Bruce Gaulin is an experimental condensed matter physicist, working in the general area of scattering studies of exotic ground states in new, mostly magnetic, materials. Dr. Gaulin’s team makes new materials which they think will have interesting and exotic ground states, and then take these materials to forefront neutron and x-ray scattering facilities in North America and around the world. They perform scattering experiments on these new materials and then work either independently or with friends in theory to interpret the experiments, and thereby shed light on the exotic properties of the new materials.

Pat Clancy
Assistant Professor,
Physics & Astronomy
Research Interests: The study of novel materials using x-ray and neutron scattering techniques.
Zin Tun
Adjunct Assistant Professor, Physics & Astronomy
Director of Instrument Development
Consultant, TVB Associates Inc.
Research Interests: Development of neutron sources, beam lines, and instrumentation
Dr. Zin Tun has been the scientific project leader for the design and construction of three neutron beamlines, including MacSANS valued at over $10M located at the former Canadian Neutron Beam Centre or the McMaster Nuclear Reactor (MNR). He is presently serving as the Director of Instrument Development for implementation of the CFI award, “Building a Future for Canadian Neutron Scattering” which will add three new neutron instruments to MNR. He is Canada’s most experienced expert on the design and construction of neutron beamlines.

Bo Yuan
Postdoctoral Fellow
Instrument Scientist for MAD
Bo Yuan is currently an NSERC postdoctoral fellow jointly supervised by Bruce and Pat Clancy. His research focusses on understanding the microscopic magnetic interactions in a broad range of quantum materials, ranging from transition metal to rare earth compounds. He employs a broad range of bulk measurement techniques and diffraction/spectroscopy techniques using X-ray and neutrons. In addition to research in condensed matter physics, he is also a part of the neutron beam instrument team at the McMaster Nuclear Reactor (MNR). He is currently responsible for maintaining and running user-experiments on the McMaster Alignment Diffractometer, a triple-axis instrument. He is also involved in the development of the new suite of neutron instruments.
He carried out his doctoral work at University of Toronto with Prof. Young-June Kim where he carried neutron and X-ray scattering study of a broad range of quantum magnets. Before joining McMaster, he did a short 1-year postdoc at the Max Planck Institute for Structure and Dynamics of Matter at Hamburg with Prof. Andrea Cavalleri, where he carried out pump probe experiments to study the non-equilibrium properties of quantum materials under intense laser field.
