Profile

Nicola McConkey is an experimental particle physicist with a particular interest in neutrino interactions and detector development. 

She works in three large international collaborations Short-Baseline Near Detector (SBND), DUNE and MicroBooNE, using liquid argon detectors to measure neutrino interactions.  Personal highlights of this are leading the assembly and installation of SBND, and making the first high statistics measurements of the electron neutrino interactions on argon with MicroBooNE. 

She also works on the Quantum Technologies for Neutrino Mass collaboration. This new experiment will develop and exploit novel technologies for measuring the neutrino mass.

In 2022 she was awarded an Ernest Rutherford Fellowship. She joined the Particle Physics Research Centre as a Fellow and Lecturer in particle physics in 2024.
