A scholar from tropical Thailand will be the first Thai to join IceCube Collaboration to work on the IceCube Upgrade project in the freezing cold temperature at the South Pole.
Chana Sinsabvarodom, a Chiang Mai University Department of Engineering researcher and lecturer, has been selected to work on the IceCube Upgrade project at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station in Antartica. He is the first Thai researcher to work at the South Pole for the IceCube project.
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic-kilometer particle detector, designed to observe the cosmos from deep within the South Pole ice, and stretches 2,500 meters below the snowy surface. The observatory is run by the IceCube Collaboration, comprising more than 350 scientists from 14 countries, supervised by the University of Madison, Wisconsin, and largely funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF).
The IceCube Upgrade will significantly enhance IceCube’s sensitivity to lower-energy neutrinos, improve the fidelity of all past and future data, and test future technologies.
Thailand initiated an Arctic and Antarctic research project in 2013 when Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn urged Thai scientists and academia to study the Arctic and Antarctica.
The Information Technology Foundation, one of the Princess initiatives, has been fostering collaborations between Thai research organizations and universities and international counterparts, including those in the United States, China, Japan and South Korea.
