معرفی
Professor Jaroslaw Nowak is a faculty member in the Department of Physics at Lancaster University. He serves as Chair of the Nuclear & Particle Physics Theme Group and actively coordinates and teaches multiple advanced physics modules including Phys311 (Particle Physics) and Phys133 (IT Skills - LaTeX). As a leading figure in neutrino physics, he contributes to detector development and simulation software.

His research program focuses on experimental particle physics with particular emphasis on neutrino interactions, dark matter detection, and liquid argon detector technology. Key areas include resonance excitations, hyperon production, and nuclear effects in neutrino scattering. He leads the NuWro generator development and contributes to GENIE and NUANCE neutrino simulation frameworks.
Recent publications highlight his work on neutrino cross-section measurements (MicroBooNE, DUNE), detector calibration (DarkSide-20k), and software development (ProtoDUNE-SP algorithms). His team investigates supernova neutrino detection capabilities and MeV-scale sensitivity in LArTPCs, while maintaining active participation in the DUNE, SBND, and MicroBooNE collaborations.
Professor Nowak supervises PhD candidates including Krittika Adhikari and Bethany McCusker, while previous students like Dr. Christophe Thorpe and Dr. Adam Lister have completed neutrino interaction studies. His research receives support from STFC and MSCA grants, including DUNE-related projects and DarkSide travel funding.
