Elliot Lipeles

Elliot Lipeles is a Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Arts & Sciences. His research focuses on experimental particle physics and collider physics, particularly exploring the Higgs boson, dark matter, and supersymmetry (SUSY). He is a key member of the ATLAS Collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), contributing to the 2012 Higgs boson discovery.

Education:

• Ph.D., Physics, California Institute of Technology, 2004
• B.A., Physics, University of Chicago, 1995

Research interests include addressing unresolved questions in particle physics, such as the Higgs mass stability and dark matter's role. He investigates Higgs boson decays to uncover potential dark matter interactions and explores SUSY models to resolve theoretical inconsistencies. His work bridges cutting-edge collider experiments with fundamental theoretical questions.

Selected publications highlight contributions to Higgs physics, SUSY searches, and precision measurements in high-energy collisions. These studies leverage the LHC's capabilities to probe new physics at extreme energy scales.

Award: Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Research Fellowship (2010).

Lipeles teaches core physics courses, including mechanics and electromagnetism, as well as honors-level courses and modern physics laboratories. His involvement with the ATLAS Collaboration underscores his commitment to both research and education in particle physics.
