A New View of the Universe from the Earth's South Pole: Naoko Kurahashi Neilson Public Lecture
Associate Professor, Drexel University; Member, IceCube Neutrino Observatory
This public lecture explores the experimental challenges and scientific insights derived from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, detailing how high-energy neutrinos observed at the South Pole provide a unique probe into extreme astrophysical phenomena and cosmic ray origins.
In her Perimeter Public Lecture webcast on October 6, 2021, physicist Naoko Kurahashi Neilson discussed her experience conducting research in one of the least habitable places on Earth and shared some of the insights into our universe that high-energy neutrinos can offer. Kurahashi Neilson is an associate professor at Drexel University and a member of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Antarctica.
