Faculty:

Xinhua Bai – institution lead, education & outreach, mentoring Ph.D. student, muon and muon-bundle simulation and physics


Grad Students:

Emily Dvorak (Ph.D. student) – (1) detector maintenance & monitoring; (2) Improve cosmic ray direction reconstruction resolution at higher energies. This requires simulation, comparison with data, and debugging why the resolution in current reconstruction becomes worse as energy goes higher; (3) prompt muon analysis tool R&D (part of long-term science goal).

Note: Emily has passed the Ph.D. qualifying exam in August 2015. She is working 100% on IceCube starting from August 25, 2015.
