Lindley Winslow is a Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and serves as the Associate Department Head. Her research specializes in experimental nuclear and particle physics, focusing on fundamental particles that shape the universe's development. Specifically, her work involves searches for neutrinoless double-beta decay and axion dark matter. The research explores the implications of neutrinos as Majorana particles, contributing to understanding the lepton number conservation and mechanisms that could explain the excess of matter over antimatter in the early universe. Winslow's group is involved in notable international collaborations, including the CUORE experiment and the KamLAND-Zen experiment, and is actively developing advanced detector technologies. She received her BA in physics and astronomy in 2001 and her Ph.D. in physics in 2008 from the University of California at Berkeley. Her career includes a postdoctoral fellowship at MIT and an assistant professorship at the University of California, Los Angeles. Winslow was appointed assistant professor at MIT in 2015 and has earned several accolades, including the L'Oreal Women in Science Fellowship and the American Physical Society Fellowship in 2021 for her contributions to dark matter research and detector technology in the field of neutrinoless double-beta decay.
