معرفی
Dr. Lu Lu is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, affiliated with the Wisconsin IceCube Particle Astrophysics Center (WIPAC). Her research focuses on astroparticle physics and multi-messenger astronomy, particularly neutrino astronomy and cosmic ray studies. She leads a research group working on topics such as diffuse neutrino analysis, real-time multi-messenger observations, and sensor design for the future IceCube-Gen2 telescope. Lu holds roles including Physical Sciences Group Representative at the US Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (US SCAR).
Her research interests encompass the origins of high-energy particles, neutrino detection techniques, and the application of spatial computing for science outreach. She has received notable awards, including the IUPAP Early Career Award (2023) and the IceCube Impact Award (2019) for contributions to neutrino astronomy and AR projects.
- Education & Experience: PhD from University of Leeds and University of Wuppertal, postdoctoral work at Chiba University and IceCube collaboration.
- Teaching: Courses include Physics 107, 307, and 406, covering modern physics, intermediate laboratory techniques, and particle astrophysics.
- Grants & Projects: Active in IceCube collaborations, diffuse neutrino analysis, and hardware development for Gen2 sensors.
Lu's group includes graduate, undergraduate, and high school students working on neutrino searches, machine learning applications, and hardware innovation. She also engages in outreach through augmented reality projects and real-time data visualization platforms.
