Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKirsty Duffy is a UKRI Future Leaders Fellow and Lederman alumnus with eight years' experience probing neutrino interactions and oscillations using liquid argon detectors. Based at Oxford and previously at Fermilab, she has coordinated MicroBooNE analysis, convener-led cross-section measurements, and driven DAQ operations including a full replacement of end-of-life systems. Her work spans precision oscillation analyses (T2K and DUNE), statistical methods like MCMC for multi-sample fits, and R&D on a high-pressure gaseous-argon TPC for the DUNE near detector. She combines hands-on detector operations and mentoring with leadership on NuSTEC and major collaborations since 2017, and has published milestone results such as the first joint neutrino–antineutrino fit from her doctoral research. Unusually for a physicist at her stage, Kirsty blends deep experimental DAQ engineering with advanced statistical analysis, making her adept at turning complex detector realities into robust physics measurements.
