Professor Marcelle Soares-Santos from the University of Michigan will be the keynote speaker at this year’s 54th Users Meeting.
Marcelle’s research focuses on uncovering the nature of the accelerated expansion of the cosmos. Marcelle was previously an associate scientist and postdoctoral research associate at Fermilab. Before her current position, she was also the Landsman Career Development chair and assistant professor of physics, Brandeis University, where she continued to collaborate with Fermilab scientists on the construction of the Dark Energy Camera, which was successful in detecting the first neutron star merger ever observed:
