Elena Gramellini is an Ernest Rutherford Fellow working at the University of Manchester. She is an experimentalist focused on new physics in neutrino detectors and detector R&D. Her physics analyses concern neutrino cross sections and oscillations, as well as dark matter searches in Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers (Short Baseline Neutrino program and DUNE). Her R&D program aims to develop new light detection systems for pixelated LArTPCs, a new technology for the next generation of accelerator neutrino detectors.
