About Aneesha
I am looking for alternatives to xenon in detectors for neutrinoless double beta decay searches. I work on instrumentation and simulations and find detector building for particle detection to be super cool!
Outside of physics, my interests range from outdoorsy activities like skydiving and small aircraft flying to binging documentaries and dramas. I am currently working on cooking and eating clean. I am passionate about applying science to environmental protection, medical physics, and improving living standards in underprivileged regions.
