DUNE

Chris has been working on the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) experiment since 2016.

His research areas include:

- Experimental Particle Physics: Neutrino Oscillations
- Instrumentation Development for Particle Physics: Charge & Scintillation Properties of Liquid Argon
- Integrated Systems, Detector Readout, Data Acquisition

Chris' past contribution for the DUNE experiment has been in R&D, commissioning, operations, and data analysis with the Photon Detection system for DUNE's ProtoDUNE-Single Phase. Currently, his focus is helping facilitate the production and R&D for DUNE's Far-Detector-2 Vertical-Drift (FD2-VD). Specifically, R&D on the production and installation on the Charge-Readout-Plane (CRP), as well as planning and preparations for the Yale DUNE-CRP factory setup at Wright Lab. Further, Chris is working on the technical coordination of prototypes and detector components for the Far Detector (FD) for DUNE at CERN.
