Jared Vanasse

Jared Vanasse is an Assistant Professor at Fitchburg State University, affiliated with the School of Health and Natural Sciences and the Department of Environmental, Geographic and Public Health Sciences. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and held postdoctoral positions at Duke University and Ohio University before joining Fitchburg State.

• Education:
  • Ph.D., University of Massachusetts, Amherst
  • Postdoctoral Fellow, Duke University
  • Postdoctoral Fellow, Ohio University

Dr. Vanasse's research focuses on applying effective field theories to few-body systems, particularly to study atomic nucleus properties and probe violations of fundamental symmetries in particle physics. These studies aim to uncover new physics beyond the Standard Model and improve understanding of neutron-proton interactions.

He teaches courses such as General Physics I (PHYS 2300) and General Physics II (PHYS 2400), with office hours listed for Fall 2025. His work intersects theoretical physics, nuclear structure, and experimental methods for detecting symmetry violations.
