Charles Lane

Charles Lane is a Professor of Physics in the Department of Physics and Technology at Berry College. His academic journey includes a B.S. from the University of Tennessee and both an M.S. and Ph.D. from Indiana University. His research focuses on fundamental symmetries, high-energy physics, and mathematical physics, with a particular emphasis on probing Lorentz and CPT symmetry violations through theoretical and experimental approaches. He also teaches advanced topics in mechanics, heat and sound, and subatomic physics.

Professor Lane’s work bridges theoretical physics with experimental validation, leveraging tools like noncommutative geometry and the Standard-Model Extension (SME) to explore spacetime structure and symmetry constraints. His contributions include developing the SenseCube, an affordable wireless sensor for physics laboratories, and analyzing Doppler-effect experiments to test relativistic principles.

His publications span decades, addressing topics from gravitational theories to atomic tests of symmetry, with a focus on precision measurements and space-based experiments. Despite no explicitly listed awards or grants, his extensive research output highlights sustained contributions to foundational physics. He is affiliated with the Physics and Technology Department at Berry College, fostering both undergraduate education and cutting-edge research.
