معرفی
Ritchie Patterson is the Helen T. Edwards Professor of Physics at Cornell University's College of Arts and Sciences, specializing in experimental elementary particle physics. He has served as Director of the Cornell Laboratory for Accelerator-based Sciences and Education (CLASSE) since 2012 and leads the Center for Bright Beams (CBB) since 2016. His research focuses on discovering new particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), particularly long-lived particles, and planning for future colliders like the Higgs Factory.
