Supernova triggering
University of Sussex, United Kingdom

Every year, my family and I cycle across France, because we want to go on holiday cycling. With my friend, we also crossed the Alps a couple of years ago. We do the same as the Tour de France, but much slower. I also cycle to work every day. On DUNE, I work on the supernova trigger, the algorithm that selects the neutrino interactions that will come from a supernova and tell the system to record it, if we are lucky enough to have a supernova. I think what’s really fun with DUNE is that it has a very broad physics program that keeps on being extended all the time. People are having new ideas and realizing what we can do with DUNE. And, you also get to come to the US for work – and there’s deep-fried pizza here.
