Evan Finch

Evan Finch is a Professor in the Physics department at Southern Connecticut State University, with a focus on high energy nuclear physics and astrophysics. His research investigates fundamental symmetries in physics through experimental studies of heavy-ion collisions and particle production.

Research Interests: Dr. Finch's work centers on chiral magnetic effects, global polarization of hyperons, and anisotropic flow harmonics in high-energy collisions. His studies utilize data from the STAR experiment at RHIC, with recent projects examining spin transfer, particle production, and symmetry-breaking phenomena.

Grant Activities: He has secured funding from the U.S. Department of Energy and Connecticut State University for experiments testing parity symmetry and studying the chiral magnetic effect. His presentations include invited talks at international conferences on strangeness in quark matter and chirality in heavy-ion collisions.

Key Publications: His recent co-authored articles in Physical Review journals explore beam energy dependence of hyperon polarization, flow harmonics, and heavy-flavor decay electrons. These contributions reflect his leadership in analyzing RHIC collision data to probe QCD effects and vortical fluid dynamics.
