The series features tal ks spanning diverse disciplines of underground science and related areas\, providing a forum for sharing new results\, exchanging ideas\, and foster ing cross-discipline collaboration.\n \nTopic: DUNE - A New Era of Neutri no Discovery\nDUNE is a next-generation long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment and underground neutrino observatory using liquid argon time p rojection chamber technology. DUNE will measure neutrino and antineutrino oscillations as a function of energy over more than a full oscillation per iod. It will definitively resolve the neutrino mass ordering\, and measure the mixing matrix parameters including the CP violating phase\, as well a s search for deviations from three-flavor mixing. DUNE is also sensitive t o MeV-scale neutrinos\, with unique sensitivity to electron neutrinos from the neutronization burst of a supernova\, and complementary to other expe riments that are predominantly sensitive to electron antineutrinos. DUNE h as broad sensitivity to new physics\, both from production in the beamline as well as in the cosmos. The excavation project of the far detector site at SURF is complete\, and DUNE is on schedule for first physics results i n this decade.\nThis talk will cover the science and status of DUNE\, incl uding updated sensitivities with the most recent schedule\, as well as res ults and progress from DUNE prototype detector.\n\n \nSpeaker: Dr. Sunny Seo \nDr. Sunny Seo is a senior scientist at Fermilab\, where she works o n two pioneering neutrino experiments: the Deep Underground Neutrino Exper iment (DUNE)\, a flagship international project\, and the ICARUS short-bas eline neutrino program.\nSunny earned her PhD from the University of Minne sota in 2004\, studying subatomic particles (charmonium) in the E835 fixed -target experiment at Fermilab. Since then\, she has devoted two decades t o experimental neutrino physics\, contributing to major international coll aborations including IceCube\, RENO\, Hyper-Kamiokande/T2HKK\, NEOS-II\, a nd LSC. Her career has spanned institutions across three continents\, incl uding Penn State University\, Stockholm University\, Seoul National Univer sity\, and the Institute for Basic Science in South Korea.\nHer research e xplores fundamental questions about the universe through neutrino oscillat ions\, sterile neutrinos\, and signals from reactors\, the Sun\, and super novae. She also investigates physics beyond the Standard Model and has rec ently integrated AI and machine learning into her work.\nSunny's contribut ions to the field have earned international recognition. In 2018\, she rec eived the inaugural Woman Scientist Award from the France-Korea Particle P hysics Laboratory. She has been a member of the International Neutrino Com mission since 2022 and served the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) in astroparticle physics from 2017 to 2024\, representing South Korea. Most recently\, she served on P5 (Particle Physics Project Pr ioritization Panel)\, which shapes the long-term strategic direction of U. S. particle physics research.\n \nYou can register for this talk here.\n\ nhttps://indico.sanfordlab.org/event/194/ LOCATION:Virtual or Sanford Lab Homestake Visitor Center\, Lead\, SD URL:https://indico.sanfordlab.org/event/194/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
