Biography —
Dr. Bean joined KU as faculty in 1993. Her main research field is experimental particle physics with a major focus on building and calibrating silicon tracking detectors. She works with the CMS collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider and specializes in silicon detectors. She works on analysis of data such as looking for Supersymmetric particle decays where the difference in different candidate masses are small (compressed scenarios). Dr. Bean also started the Quarked project, which seeks to teach children and others about particle physics in a fun engaging way.
