Shutt co-founded the CDMS/SuperCDMS cryogenic solid-state dark-matter detector program and is a leader of the LZ liquid-xenon experiment, developing ultra-sensitive detectors for direct dark-matter detection at the single-quantum level.

Sumner is a founding figure of the UK dark-matter direct-detection programme (ZEPLIN series, now LZ), working on liquid-xenon TPC design, radiopurity and background control for rare-event searches.

Wittweg works on the XENONnT liquid-xenon dark matter experiment, focusing on detector calibration, low-background techniques and rare-event/dark-matter analyses; recently joined Imperial and is establishing a new noble-liquid detector research programme.
