Garth Huber

Garth Huber is a Professor in the Department of Physics within the Faculty of Science at the University of Regina. He maintains an active research program focused on experimental particle physics and teaches several advanced undergraduate and graduate physics courses.

Professor Huber's research centers on Experimental Studies of Hadron Structure with Electron and Photon Beams. His work aims to understand how quark and gluon interactions give rise to the observed properties of hadrons - the fundamental building blocks of matter. This research addresses one of physics' top unsolved problems: the nature of the strong force where quark confinement dominates. His experimental program seeks unprecedented accuracy in measuring particle properties to better understand their underlying quark-gluon structure.

Professor Huber teaches Physics 442: Introduction to Elementary Particle Physics, Physics 800: Classical Electrodynamics, and specialized courses Physics 838 and 839 on The Structure of the Proton. He actively mentors undergraduate students through the NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Awards program, which is available to Canadian citizens and permanent residents.

His experimental work is conducted at major international facilities including Hall C at Jefferson Lab in Newport News, Virginia, and experimental area A2 of the Institute of Nuclear Physics in Mainz, Germany, providing students with opportunities to participate in world-class research.
