Keith McBride works on experimental astrophysics and particle physics, focusing on balloon- and satellite-borne instruments that detect cosmic rays and high-energy neutrinos. His projects include HELIX, which studies the isotopic makeup of cosmic rays to understand how they travel through our galaxy, and PUEO, a balloon payload designed to detect ultrahigh-energy neutrinos and radio signals from particle interactions, including potential signals related to lunar ice detection.
