My first day here at Fermilab was six years ago. I was an undergrad, and I was looking for my supervisor&#8217;s office. I&#8217;d just come from the airport and was still dragging around my suitcase. I heard someone call my name. It was a real surprise: It was an Italian student I knew who was here for just a short while, visiting from Germany, doing his Master&#8217;s. I&#8217;ve experienced this a number of times since then. In school, I liked how physics could explain very clearly the natural world. Very simple stuff: blue skies, music, rainbows, your everyday natural phenomena. Outside of research, I like to cycle, swim in the sea, hike and camp. In Brighton, where I live now, there&#8217;s a sea. And when I was in Mexico, I liked to go hiking to volcanoes and mountains.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\n<div class=\"learnmore\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fnal.gov\/pub\/science\/lbnf-dune\/index.html\">Curious about the project?
