I loved mathematics and physics and went to the University of Valencia. In parallel, I also studied music for many years, playing the clarinet in a conservatory. Then I discovered particle physics, and I ended up going to CERN as a summer student. That changed my life: listening to lectures, working on the LEP experiments, seeing the collider, just being there. Everything I had read in text books was becoming real. Now, many years later, I lead one of the consortia that will build the photon detection system for the DUNE detector. I\u2019m working on DUNE because I want to learn more about the evolution of the universe and how it works. I hope that DUNE will observe neutrinos from a supernova. That would be so amazing. It would be a fantastic observation. The neutrinos would arrive on Earth hours before the light from the star\u2019s explosion would arrive. That would give us information on neutrino properties and how supernovae work.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\n<div class=\"learnmore\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fnal.gov\/pub\/science\/lbnf-dune\/index.html\">Curious about the project?
