Joshua Spitz

Professor Joshua Spitz is a faculty member at the Department of Physics, University of Michigan (Ann Arbor). His research focuses on experimental particle and astroparticle physics, particularly neutrino detection and characterization.

• Education: Ph.D. in Physics from Yale University (2011); B.A. in Physics and Astronomy from University of Colorado at Boulder (2006)

Research interests include:

• Measuring neutrino properties (mass hierarchy, matter-antimatter asymmetry)
• Developing neutrino detection technology
• Investigating neutrino interactions in astrophysical contexts

Recent publications highlight his work with the MicroBooNE, SBND, DUNE, and JSNS2 collaborations, advancing understanding of neutrino-nucleus cross sections, proton decay constraints, and sterile neutrino searches.
