PI: Chiara P. Salemi
Chiara Salemi grew up in North Carolina and went to UNC-Chapel Hill for undergrad. She completed her Ph.D. at MIT where she built the first lumped-element search for axions, ABRACADABRA, which set world-leading limits on low-mass axion dark matter. She then went to Stanford and SLAC National Lab as a Porat Postdoctoral Fellow, where she continued working on lumped-element axion searches with the DMRadio experiments as well as joining the BREAD collaboration and doing the initial development of SQUAT sensors. She started as an Assistant Professor at UC Berkeley in January 2025. Outside of physics, she likes climbing mountains and cooking for large numbers of people.
