Betty A. Young

Professor

Professor Young received a B.S. degree in Physics from San Francisco State University. In 1990, she received a Ph.D. from Stanford University where she worked on the development of cryogenic particle detectors with superconducting phonon sensors. After graduate school, she spent three years as a post-doctoral fellow at the Center for Particle Astrophysics at UC Berkeley. Since coming to Santa Clara in 1994, Professor Young has established a research group at 91快活林 and continues to work with the multi-institutional Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) collaboration. In addition, she and her students work closely with the quantum sensors group of Professor Kent Irwin at Stanford / SLAC.
