8 <h1>Dr. Diana Forbes Bio</h1>
9 <p>
10 Dr. Diana Forbes, Assistant Professor of Physics and Astronomy at
11 DePauw University, is passionate about physics education, clear
12 scientific communication, and student success. She strives to make
13 physics engaging, accessible, and intellectually empowering for
14 students of all majors and backgrounds. Her courses blend structured
15 lectures with active learning, collaborative problem-solving, and
16 low-stakes assessments that build confidence alongside conceptual
17 mastery. Forbes works intentionally to create a classroom
18 environment where students feel comfortable asking questions,
19 supported in their challenges, and encouraged to grow.
20 </p>
21 <p>
22 Forbes has prioritized meaningful student relationships throughout
23 her teaching career, believing that trust and belonging are
24 essential for learning. She is highly accessible through office
25 hours and individualized support, and she mentors students in
26 academic planning, research, and career development. She is
27 especially committed to supporting students who may feel
28 marginalized or intimidated in STEM, working to reduce barriers that
29 have historically limited participation.
30 </p>
31 <p>
32 As a theoretical and computational particle physicist, Forbes
33 provides extensive supplemental resources and emphasizes clarity
34 over jargon, showing students how mathematical tools connect to
35 physical meaning. Beyond the classroom, she serves as a faculty
36 sponsor for student organizations and engages in community outreach.
37 You can find her volunteering at the local observatory, having lunch
38 with her students, or leading student hikes through the nature park.
39 Her teaching fosters confidence, curiosity, and long-term engagement
40 with science, helping students see both the big picture of physics
41 and their place within it.

59 <b>Exotic Particles at the DUNE Near Detector from Charged Pion Scattering (Nov 2024):</b>
60 </p>
61 <p>
62 We explored a previously overlooked channel for detecting millicharged particles via interactions with charged pions. By building a theoretical model and analyzing the expected signals, we found additional sensitivity for millicharged particle masses between 1.5 and 3 GeV.

69 <b>New Searches for Muonphilic Particles at Proton Beam Dump Spectrometers (June 2023):</b>
70 </p>
71 <p>
72 Motivated by the muon g-2 discrepancy, I developed a model for a new particle that interacts with muons and designed a novel search strategy using Fermilab’s SpinQuest experiment, which is currently collecting data and expected to continue until around 2030.
