Olivia Seidel’s work draws on Fermilab’s deep expertise in microelectronics and cryogenic devices to support key goals of the Genesis Mission — a sweeping U.S. Department of Energy artificial intelligence initiative.
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment’s innovative hybrid near detector will be a game changer. An active prototyping program over the last few years has been refining and validating the design of this smaller detector’s key element, a liquid-argon time projection chamber, and the data analysis tools and methods that go with it.
Researchers with Department of Energy national laboratories are working together alongside industry collaborators to support Genesis Mission goals by using the power of artificial intelligence to significantly reduce design times of custom computer chips for use in extreme temperature, high-radiation and ultra-fast environments.
An event at the far site of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota marked the start of steel beams being lowered underground to house DUNE’s massive particle detectors. The event was attended by senior leaders from the Department of Energy; members of Congress; Fermilab, CERN and SURF leadership; and members of the local community, all of whom had the chance to sign one of the steel beams being installed.
Anna Grassellino of Fermilab will serve on SCAC and chair the quantum subcommittee, tasked with advancing national quantum goals.
Fermilab sent its final contribution for the high-energy upgrade of the superconducting accelerator for SLAC’s X-ray laser, LCLS. The technology they developed will be transferred to industry for semiconductor-chip production and will be used in the Proton Improvement Plan-II, one of Fermilab’s flagship projects.
Fermilab and Northern Illinois University are joining forces to offer a unique Master of Science in Physics program specializing in quantum science and technology. This innovative graduate program combines the expertise of a DOE national laboratory quantum center and a prominent state university to prepare the next generation of quantum experts.
This past weekend, a new group of high school students graduated from the Saturday Morning Quantum program. Hosted by Fermilab, the course allows students to engage directly with lab quantum scientists and engineers while exploring core topics in quantum science.
After joining Fermilab in 2020, Jacopo Bernardini was recently appointed level-3 manager for the 650-MHz cryomodules for the Proton Improvement Plan-II project. PIP-II is building a new, powerful linear accelerator that will create the world’s most intense beam of neutrinos for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment. An amateur triathlete outside of work, Bernardini enjoys working with collaborators around the world as well as watching a design become reality.
With a sharp focus on Fermilab’s core scientific mission, Norbert Holtkamp is establishing clear priorities and a disciplined strategy that align the laboratory with the nation’s most ambitious research goals. His leadership is positioning Fermilab for long‑term success.
