I work in the vibrant field of neutrino physics, which is one of the branches of high energy particle physics, and I study neutrino flavour oscillation: how and why do neutrinos change as they propagate through space?

Answering these questions requires very large experiments using powerful accelerator-based beams and incredibly massive neutrino detectors. My main research focus is DUNE (the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment), which is being built in the USA at Fermilab and SURF, as well as the ongoing T2K long baseline accelerator neutrino experiment in Japan. Previously I led the SciBooNE experiment at Fermilab, and have also worked on MiniBooNE at Fermilab and Hyper-Kamiokande in Japan. My recent research focus has been the development of new neutrino detector technologies and the advanced data analysis techniques these detectors deserve. I am working to build the DUNE high-pressure gas time-projection chamber for the Phase-2 near detector (ND-GAr) which will help understand neutrino-nucleus interactions with unprecedented precision. I am exploring new data analysis methods that will be best able to make use of the more precise information collected by ND-GAr. 

I lecture introductory Nuclear and Particle Physics to third year students. For most undergrads, this is the first time they study the Weak and Strong nuclear forces, which are two of the four fundamental forces of Nature. I also tutor first year physics and second year quantum mechanics
