معرفی
Jan Bernauer is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Stony Brook University with a joint position at RIKEN BNL Research Center. He obtained his Ph.D. from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz in 2010 and previously held research positions at MIT from 2010-2018.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (2010)
- Diplom in Physics, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz
His research focuses on precision nuclear physics at the intersection of particle and nuclear physics, including proton form factor measurements, two-photon exchange effects, and beyond-Standard-Model searches. Current projects involve sPHENIX streaming readout, MUSE (muon scattering), and TPEX (two-photon exchange) experiments.
Research outputs emphasize precision measurement techniques, with recent work on detector development (40% of publications) and QCD fundamentals (30%). Collaborative projects span 15+ institutions including MIT, DESY, and Jefferson Lab.
Awards & Recognition:
- Infinite Kilometer Award (MIT, 2017)
- NSF Career Award
- Stony Brook Foundation Award
Research Teams: Leads a group with 2 postdocs, 3 graduate students, and 4 undergraduates developing novel detector systems for RHIC and EIC. Current grants support instrumentation development for streaming readout in particle physics experiments.
