Biographical Sketch:
Originally from North Las Vegas, Pablo Macias Lopez is a senior at Yale double majoring in Physics and Film and Media Studies.
Between immersive scientific visualization and storytelling, his work comprises research in ocean-based neutrino observatories, nuclear non-proliferation, as well as marine conservation research in Pacific coral reef atolls.
In Professor Maruyama’s lab, he works with the neutrinoless double beta decay experiments CUORE and its successor, CUPID. His contributions entail the muon veto panel system’s CAD modeling, 3D printing prototypes, testing and characterization of SiPMs/PMTs, and preparing the R&D for the upcoming production phase of over 100 muon veto panels at Yale.
