Michael G. Strauss

Michael G. Strauss is the David Ross Boyd Professor of Physics at the Homer L. Dodge Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Oklahoma. His research focuses on experimental particle physics, particularly using data from the ATLAS detector at CERN's LHC to study the Higgs boson and explore beyond the Standard Model. He has contributed to precision measurements of Higgs boson decays and vector boson production processes.

• B.S., Biola University (1981)
• M.S., University of California, Los Angeles (1983)
• Ph.D., University of California, Los Angeles (1988)

Research interests include fundamental particles/forces, Higgs boson decay mechanisms (e.g., H→WW*), and dark matter studies. His work utilizes advanced collider data analysis techniques.

Featured publications highlight contributions to Higgs boson production mechanisms and top-antitop cross-section measurements. Awards include teaching excellence and sustained service to OU.
