Prof. Dr. Elisa Resconi

Since 2019, I have been a TUM Liesel Beckmann Distinguished Professor and have been leading the chair of Experimental Physics with Cosmic Particles. 
 

My focus is on neutrino astronomy, which is subdivided into two main areas: particle physics (oscillation experiments, neutrino mass ordering, atmospheric neutrino modelling) and astrophysics (cosmic accelerators, such as blazars, pulsar wind nebulae, etc.). The research group is working on data analysis, statistical methods, combining astronomical data, and developing calibration sensors.
 

Until 2010, I was head of an Emmy Noether research group based at the Max-Planck-Institute für Kernphysik in Heidelberg, and before that, a Marie Curie fellow in DESY-Zeuthen.

Dr. Phillipp Eller

Since 2021, I am leading the group on Data Science in Neutrino Physics.

My research focuses on experimental astro-particle physics and data‑intensive science. I work primarily on neutrino oscillations within and beyond the Standard Model, as well as on developing advanced data‑science techniques and statistical tools for large‑scale experiments. I am an active member of the IceCube Collaboration, where I hold several leadership roles, and I also joined as an observer the KM3NeT Collaboration. 

My work has been supported by major German research programs, including SFB, NFDI, the Excellence Initiative, and ErUM‑Data.

My research looks to explore the fundamental properties of neutrinos, as well as develop the next-generation instrumentation we use to detect them. This includes two seasons of field-work at the South Pole, deploying the next-generation sensors for the IceCube Upgrade, as well as R&D efforts related to photomultiplier tubes and wavelength-shifting materials used in experiments at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. Ultimately these devices and techniques drive my investigations into neutrino oscillations and the subtle details of how neutrinos interact with matter. I am currently a member of the IceCube Collaboration with a history in collider-based liquid argon neutrino physics experiments MicroBooNE, SBND, and LArIAT.

My work on the next-generation dual PMT sensors (D-Eggs) for the IceCube Upgrade won me the IceCube Impact Award in 2021, where I now sit as a committee member. Other activities include science communication and outreach via an Arts & Science collaboration through the Academy of Fine Arts Munich as well as an exhibit on IceCube at the Chiba City Science Museum in Japan.

Dr. Alexandra Trettin

I’m a postdoctoral researcher at the ECP Chair since February 2026.

In my PhD research at DESY (2019 - 2023) and my following postdoctoral position at the University of Manchester (2023 - 2026) I have worked on measurements of neutrino properties using data from atmospheric and accelerator neutrino experiments, with a particular focus on tests of neutrino oscillation anomalies. In addition, I have participated in hardware calibration work for the DUNE and NEXT experiments. 

My current work lies in the combination of data from different neutrino experiments and the development of statistical analysis tools to facilitate global precision tests of neutrino oscillation and interaction models.
