What do you do here at Wright Lab? I work with Prof. David Moore on nEXO, an experiment looking for a hypothetical process called neutrinoless double beta decay. I have been working on simulating and characterizing patterns from light signals in the detector. I am also in charge of a vacuum system that measures outgassing rates of sample materials that may be included in the detector.
What is the most unique and/or exciting experience you’ve had here at Wright Lab? My labmate, Glenn, brought in a toy drone that you can control with hand motions. It was fun flying it around our office and waving at it to try to get it to do flips and turns.
What are you looking forward to in the coming year at Wright Lab? I’m looking forward to participating in some of the outreach events that Wright Lab does as they transition into being in person again. I think it will be exciting seeing people who are interested in learning about science and doing fun projects with them.
What is something that people might not know about you that you’d like to share with the community? I do triathlons! In undergrad I was part of a club team where we would travel around the area to participate in races. The picture below is from when we won regionals. Sadly, I haven’t been able to participate in any races since COVID-19, but I hope to get back into it soon! I also minored in Classical Studies. I have been interested in Greek mythology since I was a kid and still like learning about the ancient Mediterranean civilizations.
