Sally Seidel
Lecturer  |  2022-23

Malta

Project Title: Particle Physics in the 21st Century

Dr. Sally Seidel is a professor of Physics at the UNM Department of Physics and Astronomy. Dr. Seidel received her Ph.D. in experimental particle physics from the University of Michigan for a search for nucleon decay using the IMB water Cherenkov detector.  She joined the Physics & Astronomy faculty at UNM in January, 2008, and presently works on the ATLAS experiment in high energy physics. The Seidel group is developing technologies for tracking at future particle colliders.

Dr. Seidel has been selected as a Fulbright Senior Scholar to Malta for 2022-23. While in residence at the University of Malta, she will teach advanced elementary-particle physics, mentor faculty in active learning techniques, and provide seminars and short courses on particle detection and contemporary discoveries in the field of high energy physics. She will also undertake projects intended to introduce members of under-represented groups, and the community at large, to science. She has received Fulbright awards as a Lecturer in Sri Lanka (2015-2016) and as Lecturer/Researcher in Sweden (2006-2007).
