Hub for Research & Development
Wright Lab supports a broad research program in experimental nuclear physics, particle physics, and astrophysics, with particular emphasis on instrumentation development and quantum sensing for fundamental science.
Preparing Future Scientists
Through hands-on research experiences, workshops, mentoring, scientific seminars, and career development activities, we train the next leaders in science and technology with a broad set of technical and management skills.
Research Community
Wright Lab is committed to fostering community among all students, staff, and faculty. Our community’s goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and productive environment for research, teaching, and mentoring.
Exploring Fundamental Physics of Quantum & AI
We lead a variety of experiments and efforts to develop quantum sensing tools and techniques for fundamental science.
We are engaged in a diverse spread of artificial intelligence, data science, and machine learning initiatives to enhance our research, teaching, and general productivity.
