For the first podcast of this channel, I interview my old MSc supervisor, Dr. Michel Lefebvre. He is Professor of Physics at the University of Victoria, BC, Canada. His research interests and contributions focus on the exploration of the laws of nature using proton collisions at the highest available energies. He is a founding member of the ATLAS Collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, and acted as founding Spokesperson of the ATLAS Canada Collaboration in 1992. He remains very active in research and teaching.
