Prakhar Garg

Prakhar Garg is a Research Scientist in the Department of Physics at Yale University, focusing on experimental nuclear physics and particle detector technology. His work involves R&D for the sPHENIX experiment at BNL and the upcoming Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). Previously, he contributed to the PHENIX experiment and the Time Projection Chamber (TPC) development at Stony Brook University. Garg holds a Ph.D. from Banaras Hindu University (2015).

His research emphasizes gaseous detectors, photon detectors, and detector systems for high-energy physics experiments. Key projects include the MOLLER experiment's GEM-based tracker and EIC-related detector advancements. He has extensive experience with heavy-ion collisions, jet quenching, and medium response analysis in AuAu collisions.

Publications highlight studies on azimuthal anisotropy, direct photon production, and detector optimization. His work bridges experimental design with fundamental physics questions about quark-gluon plasma and quantum chromodynamics.
