Grant Parker is a PhD candidate in the physics department at the University of Texas at Arlington and a visiting researcher at the Wisconsin IceCube Particle Astrophysics Center. Grant has conducted research in several areas, from investigating the structure of the Earth's core and dynamics of solar storms to neutrino interactions with the NEXT and IceCube experiments. His current work focuses on further understanding the nature of neutrinos and using them to bring hidden, unknown sides of fundamental physics to the surface. When not doing research, Grant enjoys writing, cooking dinner with his girlfriend, and exploring the outdoors (if the weather is survivable).
