Since I was very little, I&#8217;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&#8217;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.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\n<div class=\"learnmore\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fnal.gov\/pub\/science\/lbnf-dune\/index.html\">Curious about the project?
