Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCheryl Patrick is an STFC Ernest Rutherford Fellow and lecturer at the University of Edinburgh with over a decade of experience in experimental particle physics, specialising in neutrino–nucleus interactions. She co-leads the SuperNEMO double-beta decay experiment and collaborates across DUNE and e4nu to untangle how nuclear effects shape neutrino measurements, combining hands-on detector physics with data and simulation analysis in C++, ROOT and Python. Her background spans academia and industry software roles, from web and backend development to leading engineering teams, which gives her a pragmatic, code-first approach to research software and experiment operations. A passionate communicator and educator, she develops outreach tools—including physics board games and music—to make complex science playful and accessible to all ages.
