Charles Mark Lewis awarded the Mitsuyoshi Tanaka Disertation Award

DIPC researcher Charles Mark Lewis has received the 2024 Mitsuyoshi Tanaka Disertation Award. This award granted every year by the Americal Physical Society recognizes exceptional early-career scientists who have performed original doctoral thesis work of outstanding scientific quality and achievement in the area of experimental particle physics.

According to the APS announcement Lewis is recognized "For the development of techniques expanding the low-energy reach of new particle detector technologies, with applications in neutrino physics, dark matter searches, and the study of charged-lepton flavor violating modes of muon decay."

Charles Mark Lewis received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 2023 under the supervision of Prof. Juan I. Collar. His primary research revolved around the development of new technologies and measurement techniques sensitive to low-energy nuclear recoils and processes like coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS), achieving considerable milestones during these years.

Congratulations Mark for this well-deserved recognition!
