Neutrino physics.
Prof. Conrad's work focuses on the lightest known matter particles, the neutrino. She is active in experiments at Fermilab (MiniBooNE, MicroBooNE and SBND) and in the IceCube Experiment in Antarctica. Her connection to PSFC is through developing cyclotrons as drivers for intense neutrinos sources. She is the co-spokesperson of the IsoDAR/DAEdALUS projects, which make use of cyclotrons that accelerate 5 mA of H2+ ions.
