Brian Woodahl

Brian Woodahl serves as a Teaching Professor in the Department of Physics at Indiana University Indianapolis within the School of Science. His career bridges theoretical physics and experimental validation with emphasis on foundational mechanics.

His academic credentials include:

• Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics, Purdue University (1999)
• M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Washington State University (1993)
• B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Washington State University (1987)

Research spans Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) laboratory verification, quantum field theory in neutron star contexts, and general relativity paradoxes including closed-timelike-curves. His computational work utilizes Mathematica for modeling neutrino condensates and chiral potentials in condensed matter systems. Current investigations focus on MOND applications to small-acceleration regimes as evidenced by his AIP-recognized publication.

Publication trends reveal consistent contributions to fundamental physics validation, particularly in experimental tests of Newtonian mechanics and quantum phenomena in extreme astrophysical environments. His 2007 laboratory study demonstrated measurable deviations at micro-acceleration scales.

Award highlights:

• American Institute of Physics 'Top Ten Physics Contributions for 2007' recognition
• School of Science Trustees’ Teaching Award
