Job title

Highlight

Dr. Hogan is fascinated by fundamental particles, high energy phenomena, and the mysteries they can answer about the universe. She received her M.S. and Ph.D. in physics from Rice University. Since 2015, she has been member of the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment, situated on the Large Hadron Collider at the European Council for Nuclear Research (CERN). Her primary interests are searching for new physics in jet-rich topologies with highly-boosted massive particles, promoting open science with collider data, and developing enriching educational opportunities for particle physics. Her research is supported by the National Science Foundation, providing career development opportunities for Bethel students such as summer research, travel to physics laboratories, and presentations at conferences.
