DESCRIPTION:The John Bahcall Colloquium is a monthly lecture series hosted
  by The Institute for Underground Science at SURF. 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 - Infrastructure\, Mi
 lestones\, and What's Ahead\nDUNE is a next-generation long-baseline neutr
 ino oscillation experiment and underground neutrino observatory using liqu
 id argon time projection chamber technology. DUNE will measure neutrino an
 d antineutrino oscillations as a function of energy over more than a full 
 oscillation period. It will definitively resolve the neutrino mass orderin
 g\, and measure the mixing matrix parameters including the CP violating ph
 ase\, as well as search for deviations from three-flavor mixing. DUNE is a
 lso sensitive to MeV-scale neutrinos\, with unique sensitivity to electron
  neutrinos from the neutronization burst of a supernova\, and complementar
 y to other experiments that are predominantly sensitive to electron antine
 utrinos. DUNE has broad sensitivity to new physics\, both from production 
 in the beamline as well as in the cosmos. The excavation project of the fa
 r detector site at SURF is complete\, and DUNE is on schedule for first ph
 ysics results in this decade.\nThis talk will cover the science and status
  of DUNE\, including updated sensitivities with the most recent schedule\,
  as well as results and progress from DUNE prototype detector.\n\n \nSpea
 ker: Dr. Sunny Seo \nDr. Sunny Seo is a senior scientist at Fermilab\, wh
 ere she works on two pioneering neutrino experiments: the Deep Underground
  Neutrino Experiment (DUNE)\, a flagship international project\, and the I
 CARUS short-baseline neutrino program.\nSunny earned her PhD from the Univ
 ersity of Minnesota in 2004\, studying subatomic particles (charmonium) in
  the E835 fixed-target experiment at Fermilab. Since then\, she has devote
 d two decades to experimental neutrino physics\, contributing to major int
 ernational collaborations including IceCube\, RENO\, Hyper-Kamiokande/T2HK
 K\, NEOS-II\, and LSC. Her career has spanned institutions across three co
 ntinents\, including Penn State University\, Stockholm University\, Seoul 
 National University\, and the Institute for Basic Science in South Korea.\
 nHer research explores fundamental questions about the universe through ne
 utrino oscillations\, sterile neutrinos\, and signals from reactors\, the 
 Sun\, and supernovae. She also investigates physics beyond the Standard Mo
 del and has recently integrated AI and machine learning into her work.\nSu
 nny's contributions to the field have earned international recognition. In
  2018\, she received the inaugural Woman Scientist Award from the France-K
 orea Particle Physics Laboratory. She has been a member of the Internation
 al Neutrino Commission since 2022 and served the International Union of Pu
 re and Applied Physics (IUPAP) in astroparticle physics from 2017 to 2024\
 , representing South Korea. Most recently\, she served on P5 (Particle Phy
 sics Project Prioritization Panel)\, which shapes the long-term strategic 
 direction of U.S. particle physics research.\n \nYou can register for thi
