معرفی
Curtis A. Meyer is the Interim Dean of the Mellon College of Science and the Otto Stern Professor of Physics at Carnegie Mellon University. He holds a courtesy appointment at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center. His research focuses on nuclear and particle physics, particularly quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and gluonic excitations. Meyer leads the GlueX experiment at Jefferson Lab, aiming to uncover exotic hybrid mesons and gluonic matter that reveal QCD confinement mechanisms.
- Affiliations: CLAS Collaboration (Jefferson Lab), GlueX Collaboration (Spokesperson Emeritus), U.S.QCD Science Advisory Board
- Education: Ph.D. (Physics, UC Berkeley, 1987), B.S. (Physics/Mathematics, Oregon State, 1982)
- Research: Meson spectroscopy, photon-induced reactions, QCD lattice predictions, detector construction (e.g., GlueX Central Drift Chamber)
Meyer’s work bridges theory and experiment, leveraging high-speed computing and advanced detectors to explore quark-gluon dynamics. Recent achievements include first GlueX data collection (2014–2017) and collaborations on CLAS and Crystal Barrel experiments. Awards include APS Fellow (2004), Ryan Teaching Award (2008), and leadership roles in NSAC and Jefferson Lab committees.
Labs/Teams: GlueX Collaboration, CLAS Analysis Group, Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (courtesy appointment). Active in detector R&D, computational physics, and QCD theory-experiment synergy.
