Jessica Esquivel is a Black Mexican and American physicist and science communicator, working at the Muon g-2 particle physics experiment at Fermilab . She is an advocate for gender and racial equity in science, and a lead organiser of #BlackInPhysics , a campaign to recognize and amplify the work of Black physicists worldwide. She was also selected as an AAAS IF/THEN Ambassador in 2019.
Early life and education [ edit ]
Esquivel was interested in science and engineering from a young age, inspired by science-fiction films and space exploration .[1] [2] She attended science camps as a child, and studied high school at the Science Academy of South Texas .[3]
She obtained her Bachelor of Science from St. Mary's University, Texas in 2011, with a double major in electrical engineering and applied physics .[4]
Esquivel received a PhD in physics from Syracuse University in 2018, where her doctoral research focused on developing and applying machine learning methods to improve data analysis in particle physics experiments.[5] Specifically, she used convolutional neural networks to analyze data from MicroBooNE neutrino detection experiments.[6] [7] She was awarded a University Research Association Visiting Scholars Program Scholarship (2016) and Neutrino Physics Center Fellowship (2017) during her PhD.[8] [9]
Research career [ edit ]
In 2018, Esquivel joined Fermilab , where she works on the Muon g-2 project.[10] This experiment aims to test the current theories of the Standard Model of particle physics by measuring the anomalous magnetic dipole moment of muon particles to a high degree of accuracy.
Outreach and advocacy [ edit ]
Throughout her doctoral studies and research career, Esquivel has participated in a variety of science education and outreach programs. During her PhD she published a series of blog posts about her experiences as a graduate student for the website Interactions.org .[11] In 2018, she received an award from the Fermilab Friends for Science Education, recognising her contributions to Fermilab's K-12 education and outreach program.[12] She represented Fermilab at Wakandacon 2019, a three-day convention celebrating Afro-futurism , science, technology, and Black culture.[13] [14] In 2021, she was featured on the show Mission Unstoppable with Miranda Cosgrove aired by CBS .[15]
Esquivel is also vocal advocate for increasing equity and diversity in science, and has worked to improve the experiences of women, gender minorities, LGBT+ and Black people in science.[16] [17] [18] [19] [20] She was one of 125 women awarded an IF/THEN Ambassadorship by the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2019.[21] She was selected to represent the US delegation at the 2020 International Conference on Women in Physics, organised by International Union of Pure and Applied Physics .[22]
In 2020, Esquivel was one of the leaders of the inaugural #BlackInPhysics Week, along with Charles D. Brown II and Eileen Gonzales .[23] The campaign, inspired by Black Birders Week and other #BlackInX initiatives, aimed to increase the celebrate the contributions of Black physicists and amplify their work. BIPW was widely reported on and supported by Physics World , Nature Physics , the American Institute of Physics .[24] [25] Esquivel is also a member of Change Now Physics, a team of Black physicists campaigning for racial equity at Fermilab.[26]
