Summary
Costas Andreopoulos is a Professor of Experimental Particle Physics at the University of Liverpool with over two decades of hands-on experience in accelerator-based neutrino research. He has played leading roles in landmark experiments—from DONuT’s first tau-neutrino observation and MINOS confirmation of oscillations to precision measurements with T2K and ongoing work with SBND and JUNO—while holding the spokespersonship of the widely used GENIE neutrino event generator. His work uniquely spans experiment, phenomenology and software: he develops and maintains simulation tools relied upon across the neutrino community and is exploring quantum computing approaches for interaction calculations in collaboration with the Fermilab Quantum Institute. A native of Thessaloniki with a PhD from the University of Athens, he has co-authored 150+ papers with over 20,000 citations and is a co-recipient of the 2016 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics.
