Brynn Kristen MacCoy’s work on improving beam dynamics has helped Muon g-2 researchers better understand and account for the behavior of the muon beam.

William Pellico received this year’s URA Honorary Engineering Award highlighting his innovative application of power-over-fiber technology for use in DUNE’s cryogenic environments.

To aid in the search for elusive dark matter, Kevin Pedro looks for ways to harness the capabilities of artificial intelligence for analyzing particle collision data. For this work, Pedro was awarded the 2024 Universities Research Association Honorary Early Career Award.

Ana Martina Botti’s work as a postdoctoral researcher has helped pave the way for more sensitive dark matter searches using skipper CCDs. For this important contribution, Botti was presented the 2024 URA Honorary Tollestrup Award for Postdoctoral Research.

The award recognizes Marco Del Tutto for his work that enhances the capabilities of the Short Baseline Near Detector, the first stage of data collection along the Short-Baseline Neutrino experiment.

While studying at the University of Manchester, Green analyzed data from a liquid argon neutrino detector at Fermilab, developing new techniques to identify muons that would hint at new particles.

Jonathan Jarvis, head of Fermilab’s Accelerator Research Department, received the University Research Association’s 2023 Early Career Award for his work experimentally demonstrating optical stochastic cooling.

The annual Universities Research Association awards ceremony took place at Fermilab on June 29, recognizing four researchers whose work is done at Fermilab or in collaboration with Fermilab scientists.

Donato Passarelli’s contributions to the advancement of superconducting radio frequency technology over the past decade have earned him the inaugural Universities Research Association’s Engineering Award.

From the Universities Research Association, October 31, 2022: Brynn MacCoy is a physics doctoral candidate at the University of Washington and the Fall 2019 URA Visiting Scholar Program (VSP) Awardee. With an extension of URA assistance, MacCoy returned to Fermilab earlier this year allowing her to install the Minimally Intrusive Scintillating Fiber Detector.
