Dr. McDonald was recognized for his neutrino research that has changed the field of modern particle physics. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2015 jointly with Takaaki Kajita for the discovery of neutrino oscillations, which shows that neutrinos have mass. This defies the Standard Model of the universe and has provided direction for future particle physics.
