Erin Charnley

PhD Student

I'm Erin and I am a first year PhD student under Dr. Juri Smirnov. I have consistently followed what I believed to be the most interesting and thoughtful subjects in my education so far and that has led me to join the QUEST-DMC collaboration and the QuMAP research group. I am currently focusing on dark matter theory and how we may discover the nature of dark matter through novel direct detection experiments using superfluid helium.
