Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAfroditi Papadopoulou is a Maria Goeppert Mayer Fellow at Argonne National Laboratory with a decade of experience in neutrino and electron scattering experiments, combining deep experimental expertise with advanced simulation and analysis development. She led cross-section working groups for MicroBooNE and SBND at FNAL, delivering the first exclusive-channel differential measurements from large-scale liquid argon TPCs and pinpointing phase-space regions needing theory improvements. Her work on nuclear effects and systematic bias identification, plus a novel cosmic-rejection technique using real cosmic data, measurably improved background modeling for surface detectors. At Jefferson Lab she bridged electron-scattering data with neutrino generator validation, driving concrete upgrades to the GENIE simulation framework. Based in Attica, Greece, she brings a rare blend of hands-on detector analysis, generator development insight, and leadership in high-precision neutrino physics.
