معرفی
Pablo P. Yepes is a Research Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Rice University. He is affiliated with the T.W. Bonner Laboratory and has been a key contributor to the STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory. His research focuses on heavy ion interactions, ultra-peripheral collisions, and medical physics applications related to proton therapy.
- Education: BS, MS, and PhD in Physics (Particle Physics specialty) from the University of Santiago, Spain (1982–1988).
His research interests span particle/nuclear physics under extreme temperature/density conditions, photon-photon collisions, and advancing proton therapy through innovations like the Fast Dose Calculator (FDC), a track-repeating Monte Carlo method reducing computational time for radiation dose calculations. Collaborations include the Texas Medical Center and MD Anderson Cancer Center, aligning with Rice’s interdisciplinary research goals.
No specific scientific awards or grants are explicitly listed in the provided text. He remains active in experimental physics and medical physics applications.
Labs/Teams: STAR Collaboration (RHIC), T.W. Bonner Laboratory, and MD Anderson Proton Therapy Center collaborations.
