Reina Maruyama

Professor Reina Maruyama is a Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Yale University, affiliated with the Department of Physics. Her research focuses on Nuclear Physics and Particle Physics, with an emphasis on experimental studies of dark matter and neutrinos. Her current projects include the Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE), IceCube Neutrino Observatory, CUORE Upgrade with Particle IDentification (CUPID), ATLAS, COSINE-100, DM-Ice, and Haloscope At Yale Sensitive To Axion CDM (HAYSTAC). She graduated with a B.S. in Applied Physics from Columbia University and earned her Ph.D. in atomic physics from the University of Washington. She joined Yale in 2013 after previously serving at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Reina H. Maruyama is a Professor of Physics at Yale University, specializing in dark matter, neutrinos, quantum sensors, and Atomic, Molecular, and Optical (AMO) physics. Her research focuses on detecting and characterizing high-energy astrophysical neutrinos using observatories like IceCube, with contributions to multimessenger astronomy through neutrino observations linked to cosmic events. She also explores quantum-enhanced methods for dark matter searches, including axion detection. Her work includes analyzing neutrino fluxes from blazars and active galactic nuclei, as well as developing advanced instrumentation and data analysis techniques for neutrino telescopes. Her research bridges particle physics, astrophysics, and quantum technologies to probe fundamental questions about the universe.
