Knirck Lab
Principal Investigator: Stefan Knirck
About the Lab
Our group builds novel experiments to directly detect axion dark matter in the µeV - meV mass range.
What Research Looks Like
Can be anything from data analysis/simulation to designing/building/running new experiments
Example Undergraduate Projects
- Search for exotic models in experimental data
- Simulation of axion detectors
- Cryostat commissioning
- Antenna pattern measurement
- Detector/receiver development
Prerequisites & Skills
Enthusiasm to learn about all things axion! Otherwise generally very project-specific.
