About The Position

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a large-scale international experiment designed to address fundamental questions in particle physics, including the nature of neutrino masses, neutrino oscillations, and the matter–antimatter asymmetry of the universe. In this project, the student will contribute to the production of simulation samples for the DUNE experiment using high-performance computing (HPC) resources at Argonne National Laboratory. The student will work with the 2×2 demonstrator, a prototype of the DUNE near detector currently operating in the Fermilab neutrino beam. The primary objective of the project is to generate official detector systematic samples that model detector response and associated uncertainties. These samples are essential inputs for physics analyses and will be distributed to DUNE collaborators for use in ongoing and future studies. Through this project, the student will gain hands-on experience with large-scale data production on supercomputing systems, including workflow development, job submission, monitoring, and data management. The work will provide training in scientific computing, detector simulation, and collaborative research within a major international experiment, preparing the student for future research in computational and experimental physics.
