University of Michigan-Ann Arborمعرفی
Professor James Wells is a theoretical physicist at the University of Michigan, Department of Physics. His research focuses on solving 'origins' problems in fundamental physics, including gauge symmetries, dark matter, flavor violations, CP violation, and mass. He holds academic appointments as Professor at the University of Michigan (since 2008), Staff Scientist at CERN (2007-2013), and previous roles at UC Davis and SLAC. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan, alongside M.S. and B.S. degrees from Brigham Young University.
His academic awards include the American Physical Society Fellowship (2014), Sloan Research Fellowship (2000-2004), and the Humboldt Research Award (2016). His work spans high-energy physics, science and national security, and collider physics. Key contributions include studies on the International Linear Collider, Higgs boson phenomenology, and supersymmetry. He participates in the Physics Shops and Homer A. Neal Lab at U-M’s Randall Laboratory.
His research interests bridge theoretical particle physics with experimental frontiers, emphasizing precision measurements and new physics discovery strategies. Collaborative efforts include the PICO Collaboration and studies on neutrino detection for nuclear safeguarding.
