Elizabeth Starling

Elizabeth Starling is a Physics Lecturer at Florida Atlantic University (FAU), located in Boca Raton, Florida. She holds a Doctor of Science in Physics from l'Université libre de Bruxelles (2020), and dual Bachelor of Science degrees in Physics and Space Sciences: Astronomy/Astrophysics from Florida Institute of Technology (2014), alongside a Master of Science in Physics from the same institution (2016).

Her research focuses on experimental particle physics, particularly in advanced detector technologies such as Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) systems. Key areas include detector design for high-energy physics experiments (e.g., CMS at CERN), readout electronics optimization, and large-area detector performance analysis. She has contributed to the LHC muon detection upgrades and collaborates on projects involving zigzag strip geometries and slice test methodologies.

Starling is affiliated with FAU's Department of Physics, contributing to research clusters like the Complex Systems Center for Biomedical & Materials Physics and the Muhammad Lab for Medical Physics. Her work bridges fundamental physics with applied technologies, such as medical physics innovations through the Medical Physics-Owls initiative. While no formal grants or awards are listed, her publications reflect active involvement in detector engineering for cutting-edge physics experiments.
