Yanina Biondi (from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, KIT) will visit IFIC from April 27 to 29, 2026, and will give an IFIC seminar on April 28.

Her research focuses on direct dark matter detection using liquid xenon detectors, as well as on neutrino properties. She is particularly interested in searches beyond the Standard Model, including dark photons, SuperWIMPs, and neutrinoless double beta decay, as well as the exciting opportunities opened up by the detection of coherent elastic neutrino–nucleus scattering (CEvNS). Her work involves technology development for the next-generation XLZD Observatory, a merger of the current XENON, LZ, and DARWIN collaborations, where she investigates high-voltage components and properties of liquid xenon. She is also a member of the KATRIN collaboration, where she studies how the 1000 days of data can be used to search for neutrino captures in molecular tritium from local neutrino overdensities.

She will be based in office B-5-2.
