معرفی
Andrew Hanlon is an Assistant Professor of Physics at Kent State University. His research focuses on theoretical nuclear and particle physics, particularly using Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) to study hadron interactions and structure. He investigates nucleon/nuclei structure, meson-baryon scattering, and QCD dynamics requiring supercomputer simulations. Hanlon holds a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Pittsburgh (2017) and a B.Sc. in Physics and Computer Science from Michigan State University (2013). His work bridges experimental data with QCD theory, emphasizing numerical methods for complex systems.
Research interests include hadron resonance spectroscopy, multi-hadron systems, and the application of lattice QCD to understand QCD phenomena at both high and low energies. Key topics involve nucleon-nucleon interactions, exotic meson states (e.g., K₀*(700), a₀(980)), and Λ(1405) resonance dynamics. His computational work leverages supercomputers to model systems requiring precise finite-volume and quark mass treatments.
Publications emphasize lattice QCD predictions for scattering amplitudes, parton distribution functions, and resonance pole structures. Recent studies explore two-pole nature of Λ(1405), quarkonium spectroscopy in quark-gluon plasma, and pion/kaon form factors at high momenta. He collaborates on projects involving SU(3) flavor symmetry and distillation methods for baryon-baryon interactions.
Hanlon co-edits the Delocalized Editorial blog via Theory Girls, promoting science communication. His grants and advising focus on advancing lattice QCD techniques for precision nuclear physics. Ongoing work targets QCD predictions for meson electromagnetic form factors and NN scattering dynamics at physical quark masses.
