I’m in charge of two systems for DUNE: one is a giant 14-meter tall thermometer with millikelvin precision, which is the only movable system in the detector, and the other is a photoelectron laser that can calibrate the detector with small electron clouds. Since I was very little, I’ve enjoyed working on math and physics problems and understanding the principles that govern the world around us. When I got older, I started tinkering with devices and designing new ones, which led me become an experimental physicist. I love neutrinos. They are so peculiar, non-conforming, and surprising. Although they’re tiny, they may give us some key information about our universe. I love the science and thinking about new ways to calibrate the detector to make sure we get all the answers we seek.
