Bernd Surrow

Bernd Surrow is the Laura H. Carnell Professor of Physics at Temple University, leading research in high-energy nuclear physics and particle detector development. His work focuses on proton structure, Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), and electroweak interactions through experiments at CERN, RHIC, and HERA. He is a key contributor to the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) project and has pioneered advanced detector technologies like micro-pattern gas detectors. Surrow holds a PhD from the University of Hamburg and multiple degrees from Temple University’s Fox School of Business, reflecting his interdisciplinary expertise.

Education Highlights:

• Ph.D. in Physics, University of Hamburg (1998)
• Masters in Physics, Stony Brook University (1993)
• M.S. Business Analytics & MBA (Finance), Temple University Fox School of Business (2022-2023)

Research Interests: Surrow’s experimental program examines fundamental QCD phenomena using high-energy colliders. Key areas include:

• Proton spin/mass distribution via jet and W/Z boson production
• Low-x physics and Color-Dipole models
• Heavy-ion collisions at RHIC (STAR experiment)
• Detector development for EIC and LHC

Awards & Recognition:

• APS Fellow (2019)
• Goldhaber Distinguished Fellowship (2002-2003)
• Multiple Temple University teaching/awards

Collaborations: Surrow leads international teams on STAR, ZEUS, and EIC projects, emphasizing synergy between theory and experiment to decode proton substructure and QCD dynamics.
