Adrien Tinchi is a pluri-disciplinary artist. His practice explores how stories, images, gestures, and traces circulate, transform, and persist through time. In 2020, he co-founded The Left Place The Right Space, an artist-run space and publishing platform. Alongside his artistic work, he develops interdisciplinary projects involving artists, scientists, educators, researchers, and public audiences through exhibitions, workshops, publications, and collective forms of inquiry.
His work has been presented at the CAPC, Bordeaux (2024, 2025); POUSH, Aubervilliers (2024); Turbulence, Marseille (2023); The Right Space, Reims (2023); DOC!, Paris (2019); and the Mulhouse Photography Biennial (2018). He has also performed at the CAPC, Bordeaux (2024), Galerie gb Agency, Paris (2023), and the Centre d’art contemporain La Traverse, Alfortville (2019). He has participated in residencies at IASPIS Stockholm (2026), the International Cultural Center of Cerisy-la-Salle (2025), Cosmos, Sciences and Societies (formerly the Paris Center for Cosmological Physics), Paris (2022), as well as several supported by the FRAC Champagne-Ardenne, Reims (2021–2022). Tinchi lives and works in Paris, France.
Joanna Woo is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics. An astrophysicist by training, her research focuses on galaxy evolution, including stellar populations, galaxy environments, and the use of advanced observational data, simulations, and machine‑learning techniques in astronomy. She earned her PhD in Astrophysics from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and has held postdoctoral fellowships at ETH Zurich and the University of Victoria. Dr. Woo is also an award‑winning educator, having received SFU’s Excellence in Teaching Award (Early Career), and is actively involved in undergraduate teaching and astronomy outreach at SFU. https://www.sfu.ca/physics/people/faculty/jwa304.html
Levon Pogosian is a Professor of Physics and Chair of the Department of Physics and a leading theoretical cosmologist whose research uses cosmological observations to test fundamental physics. He received his PhD in Physics from Case Western Reserve University, following earlier degrees from Yerevan State University (BSc) and West Virginia University (MSc). After holding postdoctoral fellowships at Imperial College London, Tufts University, and Syracuse University, he joined SFU in 2006, where he co‑founded the university’s theoretical cosmology group. Professor Pogosian’s research focuses on cosmic acceleration, dark energy, modified gravity, the cosmic microwave background, large‑scale structure, primordial magnetic fields, and topological defects such as cosmic strings. His work is widely cited and has contributed to resolving key cosmological challenges, including the Hubble tension. In recognition of this work, he shared the 2021 Buchalter Cosmology Prize (First Prize) with Karsten Jedamzik. https://www.sfu.ca/physics/people/faculty/levon.html
Gopolang Mohlabeng is an Assistant Professor of Physics, specializing in theoretical particle and astroparticle physics. His research focuses on physics beyond the Standard Model, with particular emphasis on the particle nature of dark matter, neutrino–dark matter connections, particle cosmology, and terrestrial and astrophysical probes of new physics. Dr. Mohlabeng earned his PhD and MSc in Theoretical Particle Physics from the University of Kansas, and completed undergraduate studies in physics and astrophysics at the University of Pretoria and the University of Cape Town. Prior to joining SFU, he held research appointments as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Brookhaven National Laboratory, a Postdoctoral Fellow at Queen’s University, and a Chancellor’s Advanced Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of California, Irvine. https://www.sfu.ca/physics/people/faculty/gmohlabe.html
