Gina Gibson, an artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University, became the first artist in residence at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Her work, UN/EARTH, explores the intersection of science and art. Located in the former Homestake gold mine in Lead, South Dakota, SURF houses experiments that enhance our understanding of the universe. The underground setting provides an ideal environment for experiments that require minimal interference from cosmic radiation. One such experiment is the LUX-Zeplin, developed in collaboration with the University of Michigan, which is the world's most sensitive dark matter experiment. Additionally, SURF facilitates experiments in biology, geology, and engineering.

We develop an Extreme Value Theory for a specific type of diffusive particle systems with mean-field interaction in drifts. When the number of particles increases, the upper order statistics of the system converge to the same limit as independent copies of the solution to the corresponding McKean-Vlasov SDE. By utilizing standard Extreme Value Theory and Malliavin Calculus, we can describe this limit. We find that if certain growth conditions are met, the normalized top-ranked particle will follow a Gumbel law in the limit of a large population.
