Antarctic Summer Science Lecture - Prof. Abigail Vieregg
Come along and learn more about cutting-edge astronomy research in one of the world’s most fascinating regions. A talk for all audiences, young and old!
Abigail Vieregg is a professor at the University of Chicago, and currently serves as the David N. Schramm director of the Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics (KICP) at the University of Chicago. Her work spans across experimental efforts in particle astrophysics and cosmology. She is a leader in the development of experiments that search for the highest energy astrophysical neutrinos, and is currently the Principal Investigator of the Payload for Ultrahigh Energy Observations (PUEO), which is scheduled to launch from McMurdo Station in Antarctica in December 2025, and is a leader of the Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland (RNO-G), which is under construction. She also works on BICEP and the South Pole Telescope (SPT), which are telescopes that measure the Cosmic Microwave Background from the South Pole to learn about the beginning of the universe.
All Welcome! Come along and learn more about cutting-edge atmospheric research in one of the world’s most fascinating regions aimed at all audiences young and old!
