About
Ethan Neil is an Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Colorado Boulder, specializing in theoretical particle physics. His research focuses on lattice field theory, particle dark matter, and strongly-coupled quantum systems. He is affiliated with the Lattice Strong Dynamics (LSD) and Fermilab Lattice/MILC collaborations. Neil holds a PhD in Physics from Yale University (2011) and a BSc in Physics and Mathematics from Duke University (2005).
His work emphasizes precision calculations in QCD, including contributions to the muon anomalous magnetic moment (g-2) and studies of dark matter models. He collaborates extensively on lattice simulations to explore new physics beyond the Standard Model, with applications to collider phenomenology and hidden sectors. Notable research includes investigations into stealth dark matter, hyper-Stealth particles, and flavor-violating axion-like particles (ALPs).
Neil’s recent publications highlight advancements in lattice QCD techniques, including improved model-averaging methods and studies of infrared fixed points in gauge theories. He actively contributes to the Snowmass process, shaping the future of lattice gauge theory and particle physics research.
