Professor Constantinos Andreopoulos is a Chair in Experimental Particle Physics at the University of Liverpool, holding a joint appointment with Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. He leads the Liverpool SBN team for the Fermilab Short-Baseline Neutrino Program and the Liverpool JUNO team for the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory in China. As co-spokesperson of the international GENIE collaboration, he plays a pivotal role in neutrino physics research worldwide. Professor Andreopoulos received his academic training at the University of Athens: BSc in Physics (1996) Master's degree in Nuclear and Particle Physics (1998) PhD in Experimental Particle Physics (2003) Professor Andreopoulos' research focuses on precision measurements of neutrino mixing and new physics searches. His work spans accelerator-based neutrino physics, with 30 years of experience in neutrino experiments. He has made significant contributions to the DONuT experiment (first direct observation of the tau neutrino), MINOS experiment (confirmation of neutrino oscillations), and T2K experiment (precision measurements of neutrino oscillations). His current research involves the SBND experiment at Fermilab and the JUNO experiment in China, with additional work in quantum computing applications for neutrino physics. Professor Andreopoulos' recent publications (2024-2025) demonstrate continued leadership in neutrino physics, with focus areas including DUNE experiment development, neutrino cross-section measurements, GENIE event generator tuning, and background studies for JUNO. His work shows a clear progression from foundational neutrino oscillation measurements toward precision tests of the Standard Model and searches for physics beyond it, with increasing emphasis on advanced computational techniques including quantum computing applications. Professor Andreopoulos has received several prestigious awards for his contributions to neutrino physics: Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics (2016, with T2K collaboration) Associateship Award from Institute of Particle Physics Phenomenology (Durham University, 2016) Associateship Award from Institute of Particle Physics Phenomenology (Durham University, 2015) Associateship Award from Institute of Particle Physics Phenomenology (Durham University, 2009) Professor Andreopoulos has supervised numerous PhD students, with thesis topics spanning neutrino cross-section analysis, CP violation studies, machine learning applications for event reconstruction, and new physics searches. His research is supported by multiple grants including European Commission funding for "BEYOND" and "INTENSE" projects, Royal Society funding for "Neutrino Interaction Modelling for JUNO," UK Research and Innovation grants, and Science and Technology Facilities Council consolidated grants. He serves as Principal Investigator for the Liverpool SBN and JUNO teams. Professor Andreopoulos is actively involved with several major research facilities and collaborations. He is a member of the SBND Executive Committee and has held various leadership roles in the SBN program. He leads the VALOR analysis group and is deeply involved with the GENIE collaboration, which produces the standard neutrino event generator used by experiments worldwide. His quantum computing research involves collaboration with the Fermilab Quantum Institute to develop quantum algorithms for neutrino interaction calculations.
