Michelle Dolinski Jeopardy Contestant Profile

Michelle Dolinski is a Professor of Physics at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She also holds the position of Associate Dean of Graduate Education in the College of Arts and Sciences at Drexel University. Her academic career spans over a decade, beginning with her postdoctoral research at Stanford University from 2008 to 2012. Michelle’s research is deeply focused on neutrino physics, a branch of particle physics that seeks to understand the fundamental nature of neutrinos. She is particularly interested in the design and construction of novel detectors for next-generation neutrino experiments, including projects such as nEXO and DUNE, both of which explore questions about the Standard Model of particle physics.

Michelle’s work on neutrinos includes research on neutrinoless double beta decay, a process that could provide insight into new fundamental particles called Majorana fermions. The search for these particles is a crucial part of understanding the universe’s matter-antimatter asymmetry. Additionally, Michelle’s research has made significant contributions to the field of neutrino mass measurement, as demonstrated in her recent publication from the KATRIN Collaboration in Science, where the most sensitive direct laboratory measurement of the neutrino mass was established.

Michelle received her Ph.D. in Physics from the University of California, Berkeley, in 2008, after completing her A.B.-A.M. in Physics from Harvard University in 2003. Throughout her career, she has been committed to both research and education. In addition to her physics research, she has also contributed significantly to physics education and outreach, helping to inspire and mentor the next generation of physicists. Her dedication to her field is reflected not only in her research but also in her academic leadership and mentoring roles at Drexel University.

Michelle’s academic experience includes multiple leadership positions. She has been serving as the Associate Dean of Graduate Education at Drexel University’s College of Arts and Sciences since 2019, guiding graduate programs and contributing to the university’s academic growth. Prior to that, she was an Associate Professor of Physics, and before that, she served as an Assistant Professor of Physics from 2012 to 2017.
