Biography
Virginia Siccardi is a Postgraduate Researcher in the Department of Physics at King’s College London.
She completed her MSci degree in Physics at King’s in 2024, where her third-year project explored matter effects in Hyper-Kamiokande and DUNE.
Virginia now works within the T2K, Super-Kamiokande, and Hyper-Kamiokande collaborations. Her research focuses on studying neutrinos and, in particular, measuring leptonic CP violation. She is also working to improve particle reconstruction in water Cherenkov detectors using AI techniques.
Thesis title
Probing Neutrino Mixing with the T2K and Hyper-Kamiokande neutrino experiments in Japan
Research Interests
- Neutrino oscillations
- CP violation
- Long-baseline experiments (T2K, Super-K, Hyper-K)
- Water Cherenkov detectors
- Particle reconstruction with AI
