Group Alumni News

We’re very happy to highlight the success stories of a few of our group alumni!

Former postdoctoral researcher Jonathan Asaadi is now an Assistant Professor at the University of Texas at Arlington, doing great things with pixel readout for LArTPCs, and we were happy to have him back last week for the SU Physics Department colloquium. It was a great presentation, and gave everyone lots of fun ideas to consider for the possibilities with pixels in future huge LArTPCs.

Former graduate student Jessica Esquivel is now a postdoctoral researcher at Fermilab, working on g-2, and aside from the awesome science she is doing she is also one of the organizers of the Black In Physics group which is organizing a week of great events NEXT WEEK. Check it out:

Here's a list of all of our sweet sweet #BlackInPhysics week events! First up our summary professional and social events calendars! pic.twitter.com/43yoOyWwkh

Ohana elected to FSPA

We’ve been very bad about posting updates to this page, so over the next weeks I’ll be posting some group highlights from the past year.

Let’s start with some very recent good news. Ohana was elected to the Fermilab Student and Postdoc Association. Congratulations Ohana! She joins good company, as current group members Monica and Abhilash, and former group member Jessica Esquivel, have served on the FSPA. Fermilab’s young people are in good hands with these excellent folks representing.

Graduate Student, Ohana Benevides Rodrigues was elected to be a @fermilab Student and Postdoc Association (FSPA) officer. She'll represent the community of early career researchers at Fermilab, including all students, postdocs, summer students, and interns. Congrats, Ohana! pic.twitter.com/O3u8mCJirS

Dr. Pulliam!

Congratulations to Greg Pulliam, who defended his Ph.D. dissertation yesterday. Greg presented his thesis topic, “pi+ Cross Section on Liquid Argon for the LArIAT Experiment”. It was very impressive to see how he helped build and operate the experiment, and complete a fully-developed analysis, all within his graduate school years. Kudos!
