معرفی
Philip C. Schuster is a Professor of Particle Physics and Astrophysics at Stanford University's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, where he also serves as Department Chair since 2020. His work bridges theoretical and experimental physics through leadership roles in major collaborations including APEX (as co-spokesperson), LDMX (as founding member and physics coordinator), and HPS (as founding member).
Professor Schuster's research focuses on identifying dark matter properties and developing novel experimental approaches to test physics beyond the Standard Model. His recent work explores detection methods for axions and milli-charge dark matter, accelerator-based searches for light WIMP-like dark matter, and theoretical extensions of gauge theories involving massless particles with continuous spin. His work represents cutting-edge intersections between theoretical frameworks and experimental verification in particle physics.

As an academic advisor, Professor Schuster actively mentors graduate students through research rotations and doctoral dissertation committees. He teaches PHYSICS 490 (Research Independent Studies) across all quarters and maintains an active research group focused on experimental particle physics. His educational background includes a Ph.D. (2007) and M.S. (2005) in Physics from Harvard University and an S.B. in Physics from MIT (2003).
