About
Sheth Nyibule is an Assistant Professor of Physics at the University of Rochester, appointed since July 2023. Previously, he served at the Rochester Institute of Technology from 2016 to 2023, holding roles as Visiting Lecturer, Lecturer, and Senior Lecturer. His academic journey includes a B.Sc. in Physics from Moi University (Kenya, 2006), a diploma in Basic Physics and High Energy Program from the Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics (Italy, 2009), and a Ph.D. in Experimental Nuclear Physics from the University of Rochester under Prof. Udo Schroeder.
His research focuses on experimental nuclear physics, particularly heavy-ion reactions, novel detector development, and analysis of light bursts from gamma-rays, neutrons, and charged particles in plastic scintillators. Key interests include dynamics of heavy-ion reactions near the Fermi energy regime and pulse dependence studies. He has contributed to understanding cluster fragmentation in dissipative reactions, intermediate mass fragment emission, and radioluminescent characterization of detectors.
Sheth’s publications span 2013–2017, emphasizing detector technology advancements and nuclear reaction mechanisms. Notable work includes studies on the EJ 299-33 plastic scintillator’s performance and investigations into fusion-induced fission and neck-like structure decay in nuclear collisions.
