Dr. Bruce Cleveland – In Memoriam
Emerit Scientist
On April 8, 2026, SNOLAB and Canada lost a long-time and valued colleague and friend in Bruce Cleveland.
Bruce was a true pioneer in the field of neutrino physics, having worked with Ray Davis from the start of the Homestake work, worked on SAGE, on SNO, and on other experiments during his time at SNOLAB.
Bruce was a world expert on low radioactivity experiments and contributed significantly to all of the experiments on which he worked. He contributed to the SNO experiment broadly in this area and was a leader in the development of the SNOLAB low radioactivity measurement facility. Bruce was a wonderful, kind, helpful individual for all who worked with him and he will be missed.
Bruce was an important part of our organization and will be remembered for his dedication, professionalism, and the positive impact he had on the many young scientists who passed through SNO and SNOLAB. Beyond the legacy of his work, Bruce will be remembered for his kindness, generosity, and the relationships built across our community.
