Fall 2022
Sunny Park: Tuesday Oct. 18, 2022, 5:15 PM CST
Location: 576, Eckhardt Research Center
Bio:
Earth is an active planet, generating various indigenous sources and, at the same time, responding to them as a medium. As a geophysicist, my ultimate goal is to understand the Earth’s dynamics by examining the source processes and Earth’s structure. My research areas cover a wide range of topics in seismology, including earthquake rupture, deep earthquakes, near-surface seismic structure, mantle transition zone, rheological structure from asthenosphere to upper mantle, and ground motion prediction. Among these disparate subjects, there is a common theme: the development of novel approaches to expand our ability to study the Earth’s internal processes.

Dr. Karri DiPetrillo
Location: KPTC 206
Bio:
Dr. DiPetrillo is an experimental particle physicist and Assistant Professor at the University of Chicago. She uses the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to study the highest energy collisions ever produced in a laboratory and search for unconventional signatures of new fundamental particles. Karri’s group also designs and builds silicon tracking detectors, and is pursuing new collider technologies to access even higher energies in the future. Before coming to UChicago, Karri worked on the CMS experiment as Lederman Postdoctoral Fellow at Fermilab. She received her PhD from Harvard and her bachelor’s from Brown.
