Tezpur University felicitated Assistant Professor Dr Moon Moon Devi

TEZPUR,: Tezpur University Teachers’ Association (TUTA) on Monday felicitated Dr Moon Moon Devi, Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics, Tezpur University for bagging the prestigious state Award “Young Scientist/Innovator” for the year 2022 from the Assam Science, Technology and Environment Council (ASTEC) for her outstanding contributions towards to the research field of her interest.

Dr. Devi’s research interests are in the fields of Neutrino Physics, Detector Simulation & Instrumentation and Machine learning-based data analysis of particle detectors for high-energy physics. She has worked on the simulation and physics potential study of the atmospheric neutrino interactions at the proposed magnetized Iron Calorimeter (ICAL) detector at the India-based Neutrino Observatory (INO). She has also developed and characterized a prototype stack of six-gap Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) detectors. She has worked on developing an experimental setup using photomultiplier detectors at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel, which aims to study the scintillation behaviour in liquid Xenon.

Dr Devi is the PI of the NuAPP (Neutrino & Astro-Particle Physics) Laboratory at the Department of Physics, Tezpur University. Her group is also currently involved in simulation, instrumentation and physics analysis for the Japan-based Hyper-Kamiokande Neutrino experiment, and the GRAPES-3 experiment of TIFR at Ooty.

The felicitation programme was attended by all the executive members of TUTA.
