Mary R. M. Bishai (born 1970) is an American physicist who is a Distinguished Scientist at Brookhaven National Laboratory. In 2023, she was elected spokesperson of Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, and was made responsible for the 1,400 person collaboration. She was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2015.

Early life and education

[edit]

Bishai was born to a family of engineers. Her father had a PhD in electrical engineering and her grandfather was a science teacher.[2] She grew up in Nigeria and Egypt and is of Egyptian descent.[2][3] In 1985, she read a National Geographic magazine about particle physics experiments taking place at CERN, and decided that was what she wanted to work on.[2] She was an undergraduate student in physics at University of Colorado Boulder, then moved to Purdue University for graduate studies,[1] where she worked on the CLEO experiment at Cornell University.[2] She worked on parity violations in the decays of charm-strange baryons.[2] She was awarded the Purdue University George W. Tautfest Award, an award that honors outstanding physics graduate students.[4]

Research and career

[edit]

In 1998, Bishai joined Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory as a research associate, where she was involved with Tevatron.[5] She worked on quantum chromodynamics.[6]

Bishai joined Brookhaven National Laboratory in 2004. She was hired to work on the MINOS experiment, a long baseline neutrino project.[5][7] Her recommendations enabled the CD-0 decision from the United States Department of Energy that enabled the Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment.[citation needed] She was part of the team who measured the J/psi meson cross sections at the Collider Detector at Fermilab.[8]

Selected publications

[edit]

Awards and honors

[edit]

In 2015, Bishai was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society "For her contributions to flavour physics,".[6]

Bishai was elected the spokesperson of Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment in 2023. As spokesperson, Bishai is responsible for leading the 1,400 member neutrino collaboration.[9] DUNE will send the most intense neutrino beam in the world from Fermilab to the Sanford Underground Research Facility.[7]
