Saskatoon, SK - June 26, 2025
Dr. Jeter Hall (PhD), former Director of Research at SNOLAB, will step into the role of Executive Director of the Fedoruk Centre, following the planned departure of long-serving Executive Director Dr. John Root (PhD).
Since 2017, Hall has been a leader at one of Canada’s premier facilities for astro-particle research, heading the research group, project management office and scientific support team to ensure the lab’s science program continues the tradition of world class research.
"I am excited to join the team at the Fedoruk Centre and continue the work set out by its leadership and Board,” said Hall. “The Fedoruk Centre has built a strong foundation of nuclear innovation in Saskatchewan, and I look forward to helping move it into its next phase.”
Dr. Hall completed his PhD at the University of Utah, studying gamma rays produced by dark matter annihilation. He went on to complete a postdoctoral fellowship at Fermilab, where he contributed to underground dark matter experiments including CDMS-II, SuperCDMS, and COUPP. Dr. Hall’s work ranged from improving electronics performance in cryogenic detectors to analyzing acoustic signatures in bubble chambers and deploying new technologies at SNOLAB.
At SNOLAB, Dr. Hall has overseen a broad portfolio of projects while maintaining the integrity and operation of the scientific infrastructure of the lab and is known for his ability to work across disciplines and bring together teams to advance major initiatives in physics and nuclear research.
“As the Fedoruk Centre and the Province of Saskatchewan enters a new and exciting phase of nuclear innovation, we are pleased to welcome Dr. Hall to the organization,” said Dr. Esam Hussein, P.Eng, Chair of the Fedoruk Centre Board of Directors. “With Saskatchewan poised for the deployment of nuclear energy technologies, building on a foundation of nuclear research, development and training, we look forward to seeing how Dr. Hall will contribute to the Fedoruk Centre’s continued success.”
