معرفی
Elie Korkmaz is a Professor of Physics at the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) with a distinguished career in nuclear and subatomic physics research. His professional journey includes positions as research associate at University of Alberta/TRIUMF (1988-91), research scientist at University of Alberta (1991-93), assistant professor (1993-96), associate professor (1996-2001), and professor (2001-present) at UNBC. He also served as adjunct research professor at University of Western Ontario (2004-2011) and visiting scientist at TRIUMF/UBC (1999-2000).
Dr. Korkmaz's research interests focus on experimental subatomic physics, particularly in the areas of ultracold neutrons, neutron electric dipole moment measurements, and parity-violating electron scattering. His work is primarily conducted at major international facilities including TRIUMF in Vancouver and Jefferson Lab in Virginia, supported by funding from NSERC and CFI. He collaborates extensively with researchers from University of Winnipeg, University of Manitoba, TRIUMF, and University of British Columbia.
His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on precision measurements of fundamental symmetries, with numerous papers appearing in top physics journals as recently as 2025. The research spans neutron physics, parity violation studies, and precision measurements of nucleon structure, reflecting his expertise in both experimental techniques and theoretical implications of his findings.
Dr. Korkmaz is an active member of several professional organizations including the Canadian Association of Physicists (CAP), American Physical Society (APS), Canadian Institute of Nuclear Physics (CINP), TRIUMF Users Group, and Jefferson Lab Users Group. He teaches advanced physics courses including PHYS 406 - Subatomic Physics.
