Tyce DeYoung

Tyce DeYoung is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Michigan State University, where he focuses on experimental particle astrophysics using the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and HAWC collaborations. His work bridges astrophysical environments with fundamental particle properties through high-energy neutrino detection.

• Key research areas: Neutrino oscillations, dark matter, cosmic ray acceleration, and TeV gamma-ray astronomy
• Leadership roles: Deputy Spokesperson of IceCube Collaboration, Convener of Neutrino Oscillations Working Group

His IceCube research includes developing the DeepCore and PINGU low-energy extensions to study neutrino mass hierarchy and oscillation physics. He applies innovative physics pedagogy in teaching and integrates undergraduate research participation.

• Notable scientific awards:
• National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award
• University of Wisconsin Graduate Prize Fellowship

Recent publications emphasize atmospheric neutrino oscillations, astrophysical neutrino flux, and TeV energy regime studies using IceCube and HAWC data. Collaborations span institutions including the University of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania State University, and University of California, Santa Cruz.
