Keegan Walkup

Keegan Walkup serves as a Research Fellow at the Center for Neutrino Physics within the Department of Physics, College of Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech). He operates under the mentorship of Prof. Patrick Huber, focusing on advanced experimental neutrino research within the university's structured academic framework.

His work centers on Experimental Neutrino Physics, investigating fundamental neutrino properties including oscillations, mass mechanisms, and interaction cross-sections through large-scale detector systems. This research anchors itself in Particle Physics and High Energy Physics, addressing critical questions in the Standard Model and beyond through empirical methodologies and international collaboration.

As an integral member of the Center for Neutrino Physics, Dr. Walkup contributes to experimental design, data acquisition systems, and analysis pipelines for cutting-edge projects. His role involves active participation in global neutrino initiatives, leveraging Virginia Tech's resources to advance detection technologies and theoretical interpretations in subatomic particle research.
