Summary
Erin O'sullivan is an associate professor at Uppsala University with 11 years of experience specializing in neutrino and multi-messenger astrophysics, data analysis, and C++ programming. She has driven experimental neutrino research across major collaborations including IceCube, Super-Kamiokande, Hyper-Kamiokande and SNO+, bringing hands-on detector and analysis expertise from roles at Duke, Stockholm University and TRIUMF. Her work spans both instrumentation and high-level analysis—ranging from detector construction and scintillator optics to sensitivity studies for sterile neutrino searches—giving her a rare end-to-end perspective on astroparticle experiments. Based in Uppsala, she combines academic leadership with deep technical craftsmanship in scientific software, often translating complex physics requirements into robust C++ analysis codes. An experienced mentor and instructor, she also has a track record of supervising laboratory courses and integrating experimental techniques into student training.
