Ako Jamil

Ako Jamil is a Research Fellow (Dicke Fellow) at Princeton University, specializing in experimental particle physics. He obtained his Ph.D. from Yale University in 2022 under the supervision of David C. Moore.

His research focuses on rare-event detection using liquid xenon time projection chambers, with applications in dark matter searches and neutrinoless double beta decay. Key aspects include background modeling, signal reconstruction, and next-generation detector design.

Education:

• Ph.D., Yale University, 2022

Honors and Awards:

• 2020 GIRA Honorable Mention

Dissertation: Rare Event Searches in Liquid Xenon with EXO-200 and nEXO, which analyzed three generations of liquid xenon experiments and proposed a kilotonne-scale detector concept.
