Faculty: not funded

Xinhua Bai (100% effort) – Institution lead, study of new reconstruction techniques, mentoring the Ph.D. student and postdoc , education/outreach, improve high energy EAS energy and composition reconstruction, IceCube-Gen2 R&D.

Postdoc: not funded

He/she will measure prompt muon yield in ultra-high energy cosmic ray showers and study neutrino flavors with a new method based on the stochastic energy loss by muon bundles, which includes analysis tools development, simulation, data processing, and physics analysis.

Grad Students: Funded

Emily Dvorak (100% effort) –The two foci of her work are: (1) Continue on developing IceTop-InIce combined reconstruction tools; (2) Apply the new tolls in cosmic ray analysis. She will also serve on the IceCube software “Strike” team.
