Kyle G. Leach

Kyle G. Leach is a professor of physics at the Colorado School of Mines, where he leads research programs that combine nuclear, particle, and quantum physics to probe fundamental symmetries, measure neutrino properties, and study nuclear structure. His work often employs exotic radioactive isotopes embedded in advanced quantum sensors. He is Science Director of the Colorado Underground Research Institute, the spokesperson of the BeEST Collaboration, and lead of several quantum-enabled subatomic-physics experiments. Leach earned his PhD from the University of Guelph, Canada, in 2013 and has received honors including the APS Francis M. Pipkin Award (2025) and a DOE Early Career Award (2020). He was named a Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation Experimental Physics Investigator in 2022.
