What do we do?
Every grain of cosmic dust carries a clue to the history of the universe. We aim to reveal how the cosmos evolved—and what mysteries still await discovery—by designing and building cutting-edge telescopes to study the near-light-speed remnants of the most cataclysmic astrophysical events.
Our research group at Marquette University is an active member of the IceCube Collaboration and contributes to the development of IceAct and the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. Our work spans telescope design and testing, detector characterization, and the analysis of data collected at the South Pole, helping to advance the study of high-energy cosmic rays.
Looking ahead, we are developing next-generation detector technologies, improving data analysis techniques, and contributing to future IceCube upgrades. We are also committed to expanding opportunities for students to gain hands-on experience in astrophysics, instrumentation, and data science.
