Originally from Boulder, CO, she is a rising senior at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo majoring in Physics.
Education:
PI: Karsten Heeger
Research Areas: Astrophysics & Cosmology, Elementary Particles
Research Type: Experimentalist
Science goal: Search for neutrinoless double beta decay, which could answer why we live in a Universe of matter, not antimatter.
WL involvement: Yale is responsible for detector calibration, the study of cosmogenic backgrounds, double beta decay analysis, & the search for solar axions. Heeger and Maruyama are CO-PIs of CUORE & CUPID.
