Abigail Kopec is a Senior Professor at Bucknell University specializing in experimental particle and astroparticle physics. Her research focuses on direct dark matter detection, particularly the search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) and light dark matter using the XENONnT detector. Her recent work includes model-independent searches for new physics in DARWIN using deep learning, challenging spontaneous quantum collapse models, and pioneering searches for light dark matter in the neutrino fog. She also contributes to detector calibration, signal reconstruction, and radon removal techniques, advancing sensitivity toward the solar neutrino level.
