Maria Brigida Brunetti

Maria Brigida Brunetti is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at The University of Kansas since 2024. Her research focuses on experimental neutrino physics, particle physics software, and machine learning techniques. She is actively involved in the Fermilab Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) and short-baseline experiments, developing advanced algorithms for neutrino interaction detection and analysis.

Education:

• PhD in Particle Physics, University of Birmingham (2019)
• MS in Physics, Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II (2015)
• BS in Physics, Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II (2011)

Her work centers on understanding neutrino properties, including mass hierarchy and oscillation behavior, using cutting-edge Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers and the Pandora reconstruction framework. She collaborates with over a thousand scientists globally in DUNE and contributes to improving data analysis precision through deep learning integration.

Brunetti previously held a Postdoctoral Research Fellow position (2019-2024) and a senior researcher-equivalent Assistant Professor role (2024) at the University of Warwick, UK. She is available for research discussions at Malott Hall, room 4075, or via email at mbbrunetti@ku.edu.
