Undergraduate Students
Mira Littmann
“For her contributions to the development of intelligent pixel detectors for future high energy physics experiments, in particular her tests of prototype readout electronics with Machine Learning —implemented on chip and her outstanding contributions to the GigaBREAD experiment, where she played a key role in designing, commissioning, and operating a novel search for dark photons and axions.”
– Karri DiPetrillo & David W. Miller
Jinseo Park
“For his remarkable leadership of the Chicago-Fermilab design, layout, simulation, and fabrication at TSMC of the 40 GigaSample per second waveform sampling PSEC5 ASIC.”
– Henry Frisch
Graduate Students
Davi Costa
“For his original contributions to discrete gauge theory and modern concepts of symmetry in quantum field theory, and his discovery of new examples of electric-magnetic duality.”
– Clay Córdova
Gabe Hoshino
“For their visionary leadership and technical achievements on the BREAD experiment, culminating in a first-author Physical Review Letter on axion detection with a novel coaxial reflector.”
– David W. Miller
