Jeff Hyde - Research

My research in neutrino physics, especially neutrino astrophysics, focuses on how existing and upcoming detectors can reveal neutrino properties and answer interesting questions about the universe. This work involves quite a bit of computational modeling, and there are many opportunities for students to contribute. I have also worked with students on observations of double star systems.

Student Projects

One of the highlights of teaching at a liberal arts college is the opportunity to work on projects with students. If you are a student interested in an independent study or research project, please send me an email or stop by my office!
