Francis Halzen, the Principal investigator of the IceCube project, originally conceived the idea to use the ice at the South Pole to track high-energy neutrinos. Dr. Halzen is the Hilldale and Gregory Breit Professor at the University Wisconsin-Madison where he does particle physics, cosmology, and astrophysics theory. Dr. Halzen is a strong believer in the power of cutting-edge science to engage people at all levels, and values the opportunities to bring IceCube science to the classroom.
