Assistant Professor
In August 2023, he established the Laboratory of Dark Matter and Neutrinos. His main interest is to detect dark matter and neutrinos through highly sensitive detectors and study physics beyond the Standard Model. Education: B.Sc./M.Phil.- University of Hong Kong; PhD - Virginia Tech; Postdoc - Purdue.
Postdoctoral Researcher
Ekaterina received her B.Sc. and M.Sc. from NRNU MEPhI in 2016 and 2018, and her Ph.D. from the same institution in 2023. Her expertise includes liquid noble elements, Monte Carlo simulations, and low-energy neutrino interactions. Her work on XENONnT includes run coordination during commissioning in 2026 and modeling and simulation of the microscopic detector response.
