Hello, I am Baran Bodur, a neutrino hunter!

I am a neutrino hunter – an experimental particle physicist measuring properties of elusive particles called neutrinos. I have recently completed my PhD in physics at Duke University, and found out how often neutrinos are interacting with oxygen nuclei by using the Super-Kamiokande Detector in Japan. During my studies, I was also a college level physics instructor, teaching intermediate level physics courses such as Modern Physics. Now, I am eager to apply my skills in programming, data analysis and statistics to projects beyond physics as well.
