Aditya Upreti
Graduate student |
Aditya searches for magnetic monopoles in particle collisions at the LHC. He is currently investigating experimental signatures specific to the Schwinger mechanism that could lead to abundant production of magnetic monopoles in Pb-Pb collisions.

Dhanurdhar Bajpai
Graduate student |
Dhanurdhar has recently joined the group and already has his finger in many pies, from performing energy calibration of germanium detectors used for muon capture measurements at PSI, to developing deep neural network for position reconstruction in DARWIN, to learning to operate the LIXO system.

Audrey Best
Undergraduate, 2024 |
Audrey started in the group as an engineering student, leading the design and overseeing the fabrication of the new LIXO cryostat. Now Audrey switched her major to Physics and Data Science, and will continue working in the group on the GPU-based optical simulations of the LIXO2 setup.

Cole Christie
Undergraduate, 2025 |
Cole is a Randall Research Scholar working on state-of-the-art computer simulation of magnetic monopole propagation. When not debugging compilation issues, he uses Jackson to derive expressions for radiation losses of relativistic monopoles.
