Board position: Graduate Liaison

E-mail: danielle.norcini@yale.edu

Danielle is a Ph.D. student in the Yale physics department studying the oscillations of neutrinos emitted from nuclear reactors. She graduated from Penn State University receiving a B.S. in Physics and a B.A. in Philosophy, conducting her undergraduate research on the development of semiconductors for photovoltaic applications. Her interests changed to particle physics after an impulsive trip to CERN while studying abroad in Amsterdam. At Yale, she is a collaborator on the PROSPECT experiment and serves as a graduate representative on the Climate and Diversity Committee. When she’s not in the lab tinkering with detectors, Danielle spends most of her time thinking about how to make vegetarian food that even meat-eaters will love, rock climbing, and dreaming about dogs.
