[4] Roe particle physics research career has included the analysis of subatomic particle properties in accelerator-based experiments at SLAC and Fermi National Accelerator laboratories, and her cosmology research has involved surveys using telescopes based in Arizona, New Mexico, and Chile to study the mystery of dark energy including the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), the Dark Energy Survey (DES) and the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI).
[5][6] She started her career in high energy physics with Professor Carlo Rubbia during her undergrad, which leads her to get a job at CERN for a year on the UA1 experiment.
She has a strong interest in instrumentation and has built the electromagnetic calorimeter on the D0 and analyised the production and decay of W and Z bosons at the Fermilab Tevatron, led the design and construction of the Silicon Vertex Tracker for the BaBar experiment at SLAC from 1993 to 2005, and was the Instrument Scientist for the BOSS experiment designed to study the mystery of dark energy.
As group leader for the LBNL MicroSystems Laboratory for almost 10 years, she was responsible for the fabrication of the science CCDs for both DES and BOSS.
[17] Roe has been awarded as American Physical Society Fellow in 2001 for her leadership in the design and construction of the BaBar silicon vertex detector, and her studies of BB mixing, oscillations, and CP violation in B meson decays.
