Dr. Carlos Argüelles Delgado

Biography

Carlos Argüelles-Delgado is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at Harvard University. His research focuses on the properties of neutrinos, utilizing data from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. His work aims to explore the surprising discovery of neutrino mass mixing, which raises significant questions regarding the unexpected properties of neutrinos. The IceCube detector, located in the Antarctic region, observes neutrinos at energies six orders of magnitude higher than those produced by accelerators, providing a unique window into the most energetic neutrinos ever observed. Argüelles-Delgado develops innovative techniques to study these neutrinos, which helps characterize and search for new phenomena in neutrino physics while striving to understand the origins of high-energy astrophysical neutrino flux. Currently, he is involved in the IceCube experiment's upgrade phase, IceCube-Gen2, aimed at enhancing the physics reach of the experiment. His expertise extends to neutrino phenomenology, including calculating signatures of heavy neutrinos and their interactions with dark matter. This combination of experimental and phenomenological work allows him to engage in a comprehensive analysis of results from global neutrino datasets.
