معرفی
Craig A. Blocker is a Professor of Physics at Brandeis University, affiliated with the Martin A. Fisher School of Physics. He holds a PhD in Physics from the University of California, Berkeley (1980), and has held academic and research roles since 1980, including Chair of the Brandeis Physics Department (2000–2003). His research focuses on experimental high-energy physics, particularly the ATLAS experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC). He collaborates on studies of the Higgs boson, lepton flavor violation, supersymmetry, and extra spatial dimensions.
Blocker has advised numerous PhD students, including recent graduates such as Glenn Amundsen (2016), Lou Bianchini (2015), and Laurel Coffey (2014), many of whom now work in academia or industry. His work involves analyzing proton-proton collisions at the LHC, with recent contributions to searches for excited leptons, heavy neutral particles, and lepton flavor violation phenomena.
Blocker’s professional activities include leadership roles in the ATLAS Collaboration, such as Level 3 Manager for Muon Alignment during the ATLAS Phase 1 Upgrade. His research spans decades with contributions to the Mark II, CDF, and SDC collaborations. He remains active in conference talks and seminars on topics like lepton flavor violation and LHC physics.
