Avinay Bhat
Postdoc
abhat@uchicago.edu
I work on low energy physics from neutrino and rare events in LArTPCs within the short- and long-baseline neutrino experiments at Fermilab.
Elise Hinkle
PhD Student
ehinkle@uchicago.edu
I’m currently working to measure electron diffusion in the ProtoDUNE-SP LArTPC.
Mun Jung Jung
PhD Student
munjung@uchicago.edu
I currently work on the commissioning of the SBND experiment at Fermilab.
Matt King
PhD Student
matt.king@yale.edu
I’m currently working on measuring the cross-section of pion absorption in liquid argon using the LArIAT experiment.
Yinrui Liu
PhD Student
yinrui@uchicago.edu
I work on the (π+, Ar) cross-section measurement on the protoDUNE experiment.
Katrina Miller
PhD Student
krm29@uchicago.edu
I study electron neutrino interactions in the MicroBooNE detector with the intent to set the first exclusive differential charged-current νe cross section on argon.
Gray Putnam
PhD Student
grayputnam@uchicago.edu
I work on ICARUS, developing the calibration of the LArTPC. I also research possible BSM searches: Higgs Portal, Heavy Neutral Leptons, etc.
Lynn Tung
PhD Student
lynnt@uchicago.edu
I work broadly with the SBND experiment at Fermilab, ranging from data acquisition to detector commissioning to software trigger systems.
Riley Rosener
Undergraduate
rrosener@uchicago.edu
I’ve been studying the signatures of new axion and scalar physics that could appear in the ICARUS detector at the SBN program at Fermilab.
