معرفی
Prof. Jorge Piekarewicz is a Professor of Physics at Florida State University (FSU), affiliated with the College of Arts and Sciences. He earned his Ph.D. in theoretical nuclear physics from the University of Pennsylvania in 1985, followed by postdoctoral research at Caltech and Indiana University. Since 1990, he has been a faculty member at FSU.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Theoretical Nuclear Physics, University of Pennsylvania (1985)
- Postdoctoral Fellowships: California Institute of Technology and Indiana University
Research Interests: His work focuses on extreme-density nuclear matter in neutron stars, bridging terrestrial experiments and astrophysical observations. Key areas include:
- Neutron star structure and equation of state
- Weak interaction probes (e.g., parity-violating electron scattering)
- Multi-messenger astronomy insights from neutron star mergers
- Covariant energy density functionals and symmetry energy constraints
Articles Trends: Recent work emphasizes refining the nuclear equation of state using PREX-CREX experiments, gravitational wave data (e.g., GW170817), and Bayesian methods. Key themes include neutron skin thickness, crust-core interactions, and symmetry energy sensitivity.
Service & Outreach:
- Nuclear Science Advisory Committee (2012–2015)
- FRIB Theory Alliance Director (2017–2021)
- INT National Advisory Committee Chair (2018–2020)
- OLLI Lecturer on stellar evolution and neutron stars
Collaborations: Active involvement with CERN, FRIB, JLab, and the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB). Research leverages facilities like the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory.
