K. Hughes works on detecting high-energy cosmic particles called neutrinos and cosmic rays using large-scale radio and ice-based detectors, including projects like RNO-G, BEACON, GRAND, and IceCube-Gen2. This research involves designing instruments that can 'listen' for faint radio signals produced when these particles interact in ice, air, or other materials, aiming to trace their origins in the universe. The work is highly collaborative, typically involving large international teams reporting on instrument design, sensitivity studies, and data analysis.
