Hello, my name is William Woodley.

I am a researcher at the University of Alberta in the field of computational astroparticle physics. My research aims to advance our understanding of the fundamental principles and particles governing our universe, and I use advanced computational physics to investigate cosmic rays as well as physics beyond the Standard Model, like dark matter. I also have interests in theoretical particle physics, specifically quantum chromodynamics, as well as physics education and pedagogy, and the philosophy of science, physics, and mathematics.

Research Interests

Atmospheric muons, cosmic rays, dark matter, background studies, philosophy of science. See my Research for more.
