Fundamental science

Marla Cervantes
Graduate student Marla Cervantes designs components for the UVic-led Advanced Rare Isotope Laboratory (ARIEL) at Canada's TRIUMF lab.

Transforming our understanding from the subparticle to the universe

Whether they’re uncovering the nature of subatomic particles, unravelling the formation of galaxies, or uncovering the complex relationships and patterns that put our world together, UVic scientists and mathematicians are changing our perspective on fundamental questions. The impact of their research can revolutionize our health care, electronics, manufacturing, and environmental remediation.

Our edge:

  • Collaborations locally and nationally with the , , as well across the globe with and .
  • The leader of the construction of the  at TRIUMF
  • 2nd in Canada for scientific impact in physical sciences and engineering, and math and computer science (Leiden University Rankings)
