Elizabeth Worcester is a physicist at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), New York. She completed her undergraduate studies at the Georgia Institute of Technology and earned her PhD from the University of Chicago for the study of matter–antimatter differences in kaon decay. After completing her PhD, she spent several years at home with her young children. Since joining BNL in 2011, she has worked primarily on neutrino experiments, including Daya Bay, ICARUS, SBND, and the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE). She was one of the conveners of the Snowmass Neutrino Frontier from 2020 to 2022, is a member of the Fermilab Physics Advisory Committee, and is one of the oscillation working group conveners in the SBN Analysis Group.
