Homecoming for Dr. Benevides Rodrigues!

Ohana was back in town last week to officially receive her Doctoral degree, and she was also selected as the Graduate School Marshal for Syracuse University’s 2023 Commencement!  It was great to have her back in town for a few days and hear about her current work as a postdoctoral researcher at the Illinois Institute of Technology.

Read this great article to learn more about Ohana and her work!

An Intuitive Approach to Physics Research: Get to Know Graduate Student Marshal Ohana Benevides Rodrigues

Homecoming for Dr. Esquivel!

Last week we were so happy to host group alumna Jessica Esquivel to tell us about her research on Fermilab muon g-2 in a fantastic colloquium.  It was great to have her back on campus!

New Year, new art

Happy New Year to all.  Right before the Winter Break the Physics Building received some new decorations for all the research groups, including this cool wall cling for our group!

This cling, along with those of the other research groups, was designed by undergraduate student Corinne Motl who is also doing research with us!

SBND homecoming!

Early this month the SBND TPC was moved across the site at Fermilab and into its home.  Many Syracuse group members, past and present, have been involved in getting the experiment to this point, so this was an exciting event.  Check out the cool video that Fermilab produced showing the move.

Dr. Rodrigues!

Dr. Ohana Benevides Rodrigues successfully defended her thesis “Search for muDAR Electron Neutrinos in MicroBooNE” on Friday, September 2.  It was great to have her back in Syracuse for a little while, and to hear about her work on MicroBooNE.  It was also special because she brought along several colleagues from MicroBooNE and SBND to partake in the festivities, including group alum Monica Nunes!  Congratulations Ohana!
