I tried again, 10 years or so ago, because some friends of mine were doing it, and haven&#8217;t stopped since! I like change and having new colleagues. DUNE is a new adventure, a new experiment. It still has to be designed so there is space for new ideas, new people. I\u2019m working on the photon detection system for the far detector of DUNE. Since I was in high school, I\u2019ve liked physics and loved big experiments. There was an experiment at CERN when I was young, UA1, that helped discover the W and Z bosons, and I was fascinated by this big machine\u2014or what was a big machine at the time. To me it looked like some kind of cathedral and I was enthralled by the fact that humans were able to build such a sophisticated experiment.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\n<div class=\"learnmore\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fnal.gov\/pub\/science\/lbnf-dune\/index.html\">Curious about the project?
