معرفی
Frank Geurts is a Professor of Physics & Astronomy at Rice University. He received his Ph.D. from Utrecht University in 1998 for work on light meson production in heavy-ion collisions at CERN. His research focuses on relativistic heavy-ion physics, studying quark-gluon plasma formation and QCD matter properties using experiments at RHIC and LHC. He leads the Experimental Relativistic Heavy Group and has held leadership roles including STAR Collaboration co-Spokesperson and CMS subsystem manager.
Education: 1992 MS Physics (Utrecht), 1998 PhD Experimental Physics (Utrecht)
Research interests center on probing extreme states of nuclear matter through heavy-ion collisions, with emphasis on quark flavor studies, symmetry properties, and electromagnetic probes. Recent publications demonstrate focus on precision Standard Model measurements, exotic particle searches, and detector development for future colliders.
His group maintains active involvement in STAR and CMS collaborations, with research spanning femtoscopy, flow measurements, heavy flavor production, and luminosity calibration techniques.
