Melissa Franklin

Mallinckrodt Professor of Physics & Director of Graduate Studies

PhD 1982, Stanford University

Melissa Franklin is an experimental particle physicist who has been working on the Collider Detector at Fermilab, an experiment designed generally to study the collisions of protons and anti-protons at the highest energies currently possible. With her graduate students and postdoctoral staff, she is presently building a large cylindrical drift chamber to measure the momentum of the outcoming particles. She is also upgrading one of the central muon detectors.
