Graham D. Kribs

Graham D. Kribs is a Professor of Physics at the University of Oregon within the College of Arts and Sciences, where he has been a faculty member since 2005. During 2019-2025, he served as the first Director of the Institute for Fundamental Science. His academic journey began with a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 1998.

Kribs' research focuses on Theoretical High Energy Physics, specializing in Physics Beyond the Standard Model. His work spans multiple frontiers including dark matter phenomenology, supersymmetry, extra dimensions, grand unification, and early universe cosmology. He has made significant contributions to stealth dark matter models, dark photon research, and effective field theory approaches to new physics.

His publication record demonstrates a consistent trajectory from foundational work on supersymmetry and little Higgs models to cutting-edge research on long-lived particles and dark sector phenomena. Recent work shows increasing emphasis on experimental signatures that could be detected at the LHC and future colliders, with particular attention to unconventional dark matter candidates and their detection strategies.

• Fellow of the American Physical Society (2015)

Kribs has organized numerous conferences and workshops worldwide at prestigious institutions including the Aspen Center for Physics, the Mainz Institute for Theoretical Physics, and the Institute for Nuclear Theory. His research has been supported by various grants, though specific funding details aren't provided in the source material. He has held significant research positions including a Ben Lee Fellowship at Fermilab (2010-11) and a Membership at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton (2013).

His work bridges theoretical development with experimental testability, particularly through collaborations with experimental groups designing searches for new physics at major facilities like the LHC.
