🗣️ Nadja Lessing is a PhD researcher at the Instituto de Física Corpuscular (IFIC, UV-CSIC), located at the University of Valencia Science Park (PCUV). She has recently been awarded the EPS Poster Prize by the European Physical Society during the prestigious PhD School Ettore Majorana of Nuclear, Subnuclear and Astroparticle Physics, held in Erice, Italy.

Her doctoral project focuses on the search for quantum decoherence effects in neutrinos, a phenomenon that could arise from extensions of the Standard Model, such as certain quantum gravity scenarios. The study is carried out with the ARCA detector of the KM3NeT experiment, a giant neutrino telescope installed in the depths of the Mediterranean Sea. Using atmospheric neutrinos and advanced machine learning techniques, her analysis explores potential signatures that may reveal new physics beyond the Standard Model.

Her work, already highlighted in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (JCAP), shows how innovative methods and international collaborations can open windows to fundamental questions about the universe.
