About
Chang Kee Jung is a SUNY Distinguished Professor and Chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Stony Brook University. His research focuses on experimental searches for proton decay—direct evidence for grand unification—and precision measurements of neutrino properties, particularly the CP-violating phase that may explain matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe.
Prof. Jung leads research through major international collaborations including T2K, Super-Kamiokande, and DUNE. His group develops advanced particle detection technologies and analysis methods for neutrino experiments. Recent work includes measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters and searches for supernova neutrinos.
He received the American Physical Society's 2022 Lilienfeld Prize for outstanding contributions to physics and exceptional lecturing abilities. The Neutrino and Nucleon decay group he established conducts research at the intersection of particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology.
Current projects include the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) at Fermilab, which will study neutrino oscillations over 1,300 km using liquid argon detectors, and the T2K experiment in Japan measuring neutrino properties using beams from J-PARC.
