Elaine McCluskey
LBNF project manager
Fermilab, United States

I like to make things. It was my father who suggested I might like to be an engineer. My early professional career was making buildings, which I really enjoyed doing. I made schools, hospitals, research labs, a renovation to the State Street Marshall Field’s. Now I’m at Fermilab as the LBNF project manager, working with the people who are designing and constructing the facility that will house and support the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment. I really enjoy working with the people who are building this international endeavor. I get to meet a lot of different people, and I’m excited that there are so many women participating. The end goal is very ambitious and important for science.
