Michelle joined the group in 2014 after receiving her Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley, with a focus on gamma-ray imaging and spectroscopy for astrophysics and environmental remediation applications. After contributing to the XENON100 and XENON1T experiments as a postdoc, she is now a senior researcher in the group, working on the XENONnT and DARWIN experiments. Her other interests include hiking, bird watching, and playing the trumpet.
