Biography
Dr. Morgan Dehnel received his Ph.D. in Accelerator Physics from TRIUMF/UBC in 1995 for the study of axial injection systems for H¯ cyclotrons used for radioisotope production. Morgan is the Founder of D-Pace, Inc. (and its precursor DCL, 1995), and has been the Chief Science and Innovation Officer for both D-Pace and NZ’s Buckley Systems Ltd. (BSL) since 2014. Morgan has been an Adjunct Professor in Physics at UBCO since 2018. D-Pace has designed, commercialized, and manufactured equipment for sale to the particle accelerator industry since its inception. BSL manufactures D-Pace’s hardware, and systems, and has been instrumental in funding its Ion Source Test Facility, which has birthed over a dozen new products through several Ph.D. projects (U. Auckland/UBC students) over the past several years.
