Fred Gilman

Frederick J. Gilman is the Buhl Professor of Theoretical Physics at Carnegie Mellon University's Department of Physics within the Mellon College of Science. He holds leadership roles including former Dean of the Mellon College of Science (2007–2016), Director of the McWilliams Center for Cosmology (2007–2019), and Head of the Physics Department (1999–2008). His research focuses on theoretical particle physics, particularly CP violation, dark matter, and cosmology, with contributions to understanding physics beyond the Standard Model.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Physics, Princeton University (1965)
• B.S. in Physics, Michigan State University (1962)

Research Interests: Gilman's work explores fundamental questions in particle physics, including CP violation's role in matter-antimatter asymmetry, dark energy, and neutrino masses. He contributed to the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa quark-mixing matrix analysis and is involved in the LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration.

Publications Trends: His articles span theoretical frameworks for particle decays, collider physics, and cosmological models, emphasizing precision calculations and beyond-Standard-Model scenarios.

Awards: Fellow of the American Physical Society.

Leadership & Grants: Oversaw major physics initiatives at institutions like SLAC and the Superconducting Supercollider Laboratory. Current involvement includes the LSST Project and AURA Management Council.

Labs/Teams: Affiliated with the McWilliams Center for Cosmology and collaborates with LSST teams on dark energy research.
