I am an observational/experimental infrared astronomer specializing in instrument development, telescope construction, telescope control and data acquisition systems. My observational programs include studies of comets, novae, supernovae, variable stars, and objects of opportunity.
Assistant Professor, School of Physics and Astronomy
I study neutrinos, one of the most common particles in the universe, and simultaneously one of the hardest to study. Neutrino oscillations are my primary focus, through the DUNE and SBN experiments. But I spend a lot of my time worrying about our understanding of neutrino interactions with nuclei, and making measurements to improve this understanding.

Professor
High Energy Astrophysics
My research interests are in experimental high-energy astrophysics. As a member of the Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System (VERITAS), I study gamma rays detected from active galactic nuclei. Gamma-ray astronomy probes the extreme physics of systems such as the black holes at…
Director of Undergraduate Studies
Distinguished McKnight University Professor
My main research activities are in theoretical condensed matter physics, particularly in strongly correlated electronic many-body systems. I am interested in clean and disordered systems in which the collective behavior of the electrons gives rise to ordered states that break different symmetries of the system, such as superconductivity, magnetism, nematic ordering, and orbital ordering. My aim is to understand not only the impact of these individual…

Professor Dahlberg's primary research interests are in magnetism. His active research program involves a substantial effort in spin transport in magnetic multilayers and films and ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic exchange coupling. In addition to this work, he is also the Director of the Magnetic Microscopy Center (MMC) at the University of Minnesota. The MMC applies magnetic force microscopy techniques to a variety of outstanding physics problems such…

My research focuses on spin dynamics and transport in ferromagnets and ferromagnet-semiconductor heterostructures. The first project examines the role of non-equilibrium effects in spin transport in hybrid ferromagnet/semiconductor structures. The materials development for this work is carried out in collaboration with Chris Palmstrom's group at UCSB, who is a collaborator in CSPIN. In recent years, we have succeeded in fabricating simple devices that…
