Bonnie T. Fleming is an experimental particle physicist who has held leadership roles in several physics experiments and at Fermilab. She is known for her work in neutrino physics.

Education

Fleming received her bachelor's degree in physics from Barnard College in 1993. After working at Brookhaven National Laboratory as a particle beam operator from 1993 until 1996, she attended Columbia University, where Janet Conrad was her doctoral advisor.[1][2] While she was a graduate student, she worked on Fermilab's NuTeV experiment.[3] She received her PhD in physics in 2002.[2]

Career

After completing her PhD, Fleming held a postdoctoral position as a Lederman Fellow working on the MiniBooNE neutrino oscillation experiment at Fermilab from 2002 to 2004.[3][4][2] In 2004, she joined the faculty at Yale University.[2]

Fleming continued to work on experiments at Fermilab during her time at Yale. She was a member of the LArIAT (Liquid Argon TPC In A Test beam) collaboration;[2] co-spokesperson on the FINeSSE neutrino scattering experiment;[5] principal investigator on the ArgoNeuT Argon Neutrino Test project, which she started in 2006 with support from a National Science Foundation CAREER grant;[1] and the founding scientific spokesperson for the MicroBooNE neutrino experiment. She later became co-spokesperson for MicroBooNE.[6] She also collaborates on Fermilab's Short-Baseline Near Detector, and DUNE, the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment. Fleming played a key role in developing the liquid argon time projection chambers used as detectors for many of these experiments.[6]
