Diana Parno

Diana Parno is the Falco-DeBenedetti Associate Professor of Physics in the Department of Physics at Carnegie Mellon University. Her research focuses on Nuclear & Particle Physics and Neutrino Physics. She is involved in the KATRIN experiment at Karlsruhe, Germany, and the COHERENT experiment at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, where she studies neutrino properties. She also serves as Analysis Co-Coordinator for both experiments and as KATRIN's US spokesperson. Additionally, she is one of two PIs on the TRIMS experiment. Her work explores neutrino interactions and their implications for physics beyond the Standard Model.

Diana Parno is an Associate Professor of Physics at Carnegie Mellon University, specializing in neutrino physics, nuclear physics, and particle physics. Her research focuses on neutrino mass measurements, coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering, and the search for beyond the Standard Model effects in neutrino interactions. She has contributed to major experiments such as KATRIN and COHERENT, advancing precision measurements of neutrino properties and exploring parity violation in electron scattering. Her work includes direct neutrino-mass measurements, assessments of molecular effects on neutrino mass determinations, and studies of sterile neutrino mixing. Parno's research aims to deepen our understanding of fundamental particle interactions and the structure of matter.
