Alysia Diane Marino is an American experimental particle physicist. She is the Jesse L. Mitchell Endowed Chair at the University of Colorado, Boulder. In 2022, Marino was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society for "major contributions to understanding the physics of neutrino production and interactions, and for leadership in data analysis in the T2K and NA61/SHINE collaborations."
Marino was born in New York City, New York, USA.[1] She graduated as class valedictorian from South Brunswick High School in 1994[2] and enrolled at Princeton University. During her undergraduate studies, Marino became interested in neutrino physics.[1] Following Princeton, Marino enrolled at the University of California, Berkeley for her master's degree and PhD in physics. Her thesis was titled Evidence for Neutrino Oscillations in the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory.[3] Upon completing her PhD, Marino received the Mitsuyoshi Tanaka Dissertation Award in Experimental Particle Physics for her "contributions to the measurement of neutrino fluxes which conclusively support the hypothesis of flavor oscillation of neutrinos produced in the sun as they travel toward the earth."[1] Marino then accepted post-doc positions at Fermilab's MINOS neutrino experiment and at the University of Toronto working on the T2K experiment.[4]
