Before becoming an IceCube winterover (a person who spends the winter in the South Pole)\u0026nbsp;for the 2016-2017 South Pole season, James completed his Ph.D. in physics at Georgia Tech as a member of the IceCube Collaboration. For his graduate studies, his research focused on neutrinos generated in gamma-ray bursts. Besides physics, he also enjoys amateur radio, general aviation, and scuba diving.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EMartin Wolf\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nMartin Wolf grew up in Germany and was part of the IceCube Collaboration for six years\u0026mdash;receiving his Ph.D. in astrophysics\u0026mdash;before becoming one of the two IceCube winterovers for the 2016-2017 South Pole season.
