Description

Season 2 Episode 4  
I'm particle physicist who was born in the UK, grew up in Canada and now lives in Durham, North Carolina; I also enjoy fossils, hiking, and sitting on my porch. I study neutrinos, and work on several  experiments--- COHERENT at the Spallation Neutron Source, the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment and Super-Kamiokande-- to look for physics beyond the standard model and to understand astrophysical  objects.  I love how neutrinos connect broadly to different areas—particle physics, astrophysics and nuclear physics -- and how they  have brought surprising insights over the decades. I'm excited to be a co-convener of the Snowmass Neutrino Frontier, to explore the many future opportunities for fundamental physics with neutrino experiments.  
My Journey as a Physicist is brought to you by PhD student Bryan Stanley (he/him/his) and Prof. Huey-Wen Lin (she/her). Season 2 is edited by Varalee Sakorikar.  
Season 2 consists of members of the Particle Physics Community Planning Exercise known as Snowmass.

What is life as a physicist is like? It is a little bit different for everyone. On each episode, a different physicist discusses their research, what got them interested in physics, obstacles they overcame, and what a typical day as a physicist looks like. They also provide tips and suggestions for students who may be interested in studying physics and becoming physicists. Physicists are people with lives outside of the lab too! Guests share about their interests and hobbies outside of research. Be sure to listen if you are interested in becoming a physicist too!
