معرفی
Gordon Watts is a Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Washington, affiliated with the College of Arts & Sciences. His research focuses on collider experiments exploring beyond the Standard Model physics, including dark matter and the matter-antimatter imbalance. He is actively involved in the ATLAS Experiment at CERN, the IRIS-HEP software institute, and the MATHUSLA Collaboration. He has contributed to significant discoveries such as the top quark and Higgs boson.
Education: B.S. in Physics and Math from the University of Texas at Austin (1989), Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Rochester (1994).
Research interests include long-lived particle detection, machine learning applications in physics, and ultra-long-lived particle searches. He has led flavor tagging groups in ATLAS and DZERO, and contributed to experiments at Fermilab and KEK. He is dedicated to education, teaching in classrooms and labs, and serves on the Executive Committee of the APS Division of Particles and Fields.
He co-chaired the 2022 Snowmass Community Summer Study and organized international conferences like ACAT and CHEP. His work on IRIS-HEP focuses on HL-LHC cyberinfrastructure and analysis tools.
