Evan Shockley is currently a postdoctoral scholar at UC San Diego. He obtained his PhD from the University of Chicago in 2020 after earning a MS from the University of Chicago in 2016 and a BA from Saint Marys University of Minnesota in 2014. In his final year at University of Chicago he was granted a Grainger Fellowship by the physics department for outstanding experimental research. A member of the XENON collaboration, his research interests center around the search for physics beyond the standard model using some of the worlds most sensitive particle detectors.
