Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnthony Villano is an experimental particle and nuclear physicist and assistant professor at the University of Colorado Denver with 11 years of postdoctoral and faculty experience searching for dark matter and other new fundamental interactions. He designs sensitive measurements and bespoke instrumentation—ranging from cryogenic detectors and dilution refrigerators to underground background and calibration studies—to push the limits of laboratory-based fundamental physics. Previously he led detector testing and data analysis for the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search at the University of Minnesota and worked on radioactive beams and neutrinoless double-beta decay matrix elements at the University of Michigan. Based in Denver, he combines hands-on experimental expertise with a track record of mentoring and building research groups, and he brings the dual background of physics and nuclear engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to tackle precision measurement challenges.
