About
Michelle C. Sanchez is a Professor of Theology at Harvard Divinity School. She received her BA from New College of Florida, her MDiv from Harvard Divinity School, and her PhD in the study of religion from Harvard University. Her research interests include Christian movements of reform, the legacies of Protestantism, and the complex interrelationships between theology, politics, and social change, particularly in sixteenth-century Europe. Her first book, Calvin and the Resignification of the World: Creation, Incarnation, and the Problem of Political Theology, was published by Cambridge University Press in 2019 and closely examines Calvin's 1559 Institutes in relation to contemporary theories of religion, ritual, secularization, and political theology. She is also working on a second book project that explores how Christianity was pedagogically reconfigured as a 'worldview' in the twentieth century, with a focus on nineteenth-century Calvinist theologians. Sanchez has co-hosted conferences on topics such as Christianity, race, and mass incarceration, and on historicizing secular studies across disciplines. She has been recognized for excellence in undergraduate teaching and is active in scholarly groups like the American Academy of Religion.

Long-baseline neutrino oscillation physics potential of the DUNE experiment
The European Physical Journal C · 2020 · 239 citations
The sensitivity of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) to neutrino oscillation is determined, based on a full simulation, reconstruction, and event selection of the far detector and a full simulation and parameterized analysis of the near detector. Detailed uncertainties due to the flux prediction, neutrino interaction model, and detector effects are included. DUNE will resolve the neutrino mass ordering to a precision of 5$σ$, for all $δ_{\mathrm{CP}}$ values, after 2 years of runni…
Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) Near Detector Conceptual Design Report
Instruments · 2021 · 206 citations
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is an international, world-class experiment aimed at exploring fundamental questions about the universe that are at the forefront of astrophysics and particle physics research. DUNE will study questions pertaining to the preponderance of matter over antimatter in the early universe, the dynamics of supernovae, the subtleties of neutrino interaction physics, and a number of beyond the Standard Model topics accessible in a powerful neutrino beam. A c…
Improved measurement of neutrino oscillation parameters by the NOvA experiment
Physical review. D/Physical review. D. · 2022 · 184 citations
We present new e , , e , and oscillation measurements by the NOvA experiment, with a 50% increase in neutrino-mode beam exposure over the previously reported results. The additional data, combined with previously published neutrino and antineutrino data, are all analyzed using improved techniques and simulations. A joint fit to the e , , e , and candidate samples within the 3-flavor neutrino oscillation framework continues to yield a best-fit point in the normal mass ordering and the upper octan…
Supernova Neutrino Burst Detection with the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment
The European Physical Journal C · 2020 · 137 citations
Abstract: The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), a 40-kton underground liquid argon time projection chamber experiment, will be sensitive to the electron-neutrino flavor component of the burst of neutrinos expected from the next Galactic core-collapse supernova. Such an observation will bring unique insight into the astrophysics of core collapse as well as into the properties of neutrinos. The general capabilities of DUNE for neutrino detection in the relevant few- to few-tens-of-MeV n…
