Nature is our greatest particle accelerator, sending neutrinos on epic voyages from the hearts of galaxies to detectors on Earth. Thrilled to share that my piece on the next generation of high‑ and ultra‑high‑energy neutrino experiments is featured in CERN Courier (May/June).

🔔📜 IceCube paper submitted to JINST! We used convolutional neural networks to reconstruct low-energy neutrinos. This approach achieved a resolution comparable to traditional likelihood-based methods and improved processing speed. Story ➡️ icecube.wisc.edu/news/research/…

🔔📜 IceCube paper submitted to PRD! We measured the high-energy muon component of cosmic-ray-induced air showers based on events detected in coincidence at IceTop and in the in-ice detector. Our results were in agreement with all of the models. Story ➡️ icecube.wisc.edu/news/research/…

🔔📜 IceCube paper submitted to ApJ! For the first time in IceCube's history, we searched for point sources by combining two distinct datasets. This represents the most sensitive point-source search of the entire sky conducted by IceCube. Story ➡️ icecube.wisc.edu/news/research/…

IceCube (IceCube Neutrino Observatory) finds no neutrinos above 10 PeV in 12.6 yrs of data • In 2.9σ tension with the ~200 PeV KM3NeT neutrino event • Disfavors the proton-only hypothesis for ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays PRL: go.aps.org/40mhziS PhysMag: go.aps.org/4lOm6mg

🔔📜 IceCube paper submitted to ApJ! We searched for a correlation between high-energy neutrinos and shorter-wavelength mm blazar activity using Atacama Cosmology Telescope data. The results showed no correlation between mm-wavelength data and neutrino emission. Story ➡️ icecube.wisc.edu/news/research/…
