About
Greg Landsberg, the Thomas J. Watson, Sr. Professor of Physics at Brown University, is a leading experimental particle physicist specializing in high-energy collider phenomenology. Since joining Brown in 1998, he has played pivotal roles in the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC, including serving as Physics Coordinator during the Higgs boson discovery and convener of key analysis groups.
- Brown University Faculty Member (1998-present)
- CERN Associate (2019-2020)
- Divisional Associate Editor, Phys. Rev. Lett.
- Advisory Board Member for international conferences
Education:
- PhD (1994), State University of New York at Stony Brook
- MS (1992), State University of New York at Stony Brook
Research Interests: Professor Landsberg's research focuses on experimental particle physics at energy frontiers, particularly searching for new physics phenomena beyond the Standard Model. His work includes studies of the Higgs boson, dark matter signatures, extra dimensions, and microscopic black hole production at colliders. He has made significant contributions to understanding flavor anomalies and electroweak symmetry breaking.
Scientific Awards:
- National Science Foundation CAREER Award (2003-2008)
- Arthur P. Sloan Research Fellowship (2001-2005)
- Salomon Faculty Research Award (2000)
- Aditya Sambamurti Memorial Award (1997)
- Fellow of the American Physical Society (since 2009)
Notable Contributions: As a member of the CMS collaboration, he contributed to the discovery of the Higgs boson (2012-2013) and led seminal research on its properties across multiple decay channels. His 2001 paper on black hole production at colliders has become a TOPCITE 500+ article.
