Bonnie Fleming is the Deputy Director for Science and Technology and Chief Research Officer at the Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. She also holds a joint appointment on faculty at the University of Chicago in the Enrico Fermi Institute/Department of Physics. Fleming began her career at Fermilab as a graduate student from Columbia University, where she received her Ph.D., working on the NuTeV experiment and then as a Lederman Fellow at Fermilab working on MiniBooNE. From 2004 to 2021, Fleming was on faculty in the physics department at Yale University. As a user at Fermilab, she served as the founding spokesperson for the ArgoNeuT experiment and for the MicroBooNE experiment (later co-spokesperson). She has been a leading collaborator on SBND and DUNE and pioneered the detector technology employed for all these experiments, Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers, which is also the technology employed by DUNE. Formerly the Deputy Chief Research Officer at Fermilab (2016 to 2018), Fleming is an APS Fellow (2013). She served on the 2014 P5 HEPAP subpanel and more recently as co-chair for the DOE Basic Research Needs on Instrumentation panel and the 2034 HEPAP subpanel on International Benchmarking. She currently serves as a member of the National Academies Decadal Survey in particle physics (2024).
