معرفی
Prof. Daniël Boer is a theoretical physicist at the University of Groningen's Van Swinderen Institute for Particle Physics and Gravity, holding the rank of Professor in Theoretical Subatomic Physics. He serves as Scientific Director of the institute and chairs several national and international committees, including the NWO network for Theoretical High-Energy Physics. His research focuses on QCD, gluon dynamics, and particle physics beyond the Standard Model, particularly in connection with the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) and Large Hadron Collider (LHC) synergies.
Boer earned his PhD from VU University Amsterdam in 1998 and held postdoctoral positions at the RIKEN-BNL Research Center (U.S.A.) and VU Amsterdam. He joined the University of Groningen in 2009, becoming a full professor in 2017. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society (2019) for contributions to understanding nucleon spin/momentum structure and the color glass condensate phase.
His research group investigates quarkonium production, transverse momentum-dependent distributions, and gluon collective behavior at high energies. Major contributions include the Boer-Mulders function (1998), foundational for spin physics, and leadership in shaping the EIC's physics case. He has supervised over 10 PhD students and organized international workshops on topics like EIC-LHC synergies and QCD evolution.
- Education: PhD in Theoretical Physics (VU Amsterdam, 1998), M.Sc. Theoretical Physics (Utrecht University, 1994)
