Jamie Holder is a Professor of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Delaware's College of Arts & Sciences. He joined UD faculty in 2006 and specializes in gamma-ray astronomy, particularly using the VERITAS and CTA observatories. His research focuses on very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray photons (>100 GeV), studying astrophysical sources like supernova remnants, active galaxies, and pulsars. Holder served as VERITAS collaboration spokesperson (2012-2013) and is involved in the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) project, a global initiative with over 1,500 members.
Education: B.Sc. from the University of Leeds, UK, and Ph.D. from Durham University, UK. His work includes collaborations with institutions worldwide to advance gamma-ray detection technologies and multi-messenger astronomy. Holder's recent efforts include the Trinity Demonstrator project and Panoramic SETI searches, exploring cosmic phenomena like stellar intensity interferometry and dark matter signals.
Research interests span gamma-ray binaries, blazar studies, neutrino-gamma-ray correlations, and instrumentation development. Key contributions include detecting gamma-ray emission from over 60 astrophysical sources with VERITAS and advancing CTA's design for next-generation gamma-ray observations.
Grants and collaborations involve funding from international consortia, supporting projects such as the prototype Schwarzschild-Couder telescope and atmospheric Cherenkov techniques. Holder is also affiliated with the Bartol Research Institute, further emphasizing his role in cutting-edge astroparticle physics.
