(she/her)
Brianna is a PhD candidate working on using neutrino detection for nuclear non-proliferation. While she is an NSE student, she also works directly with the physics department in the Laboratory of Nuclear Science. She has been with NSE for a long time, first with her dual bachelor’s from MIT in NSE and physics, and then her master’s degree shortly after. She is extremely passionate about teaching and when she is not doing research she likes TAing, coaching sailing, and giving tours of the nuclear reactor to high school students. Things that bring her joy include making playlists, going on random adventures, and petting every dog she sees.
