معرفی
Stefan Meinel is an Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Arizona, affiliated with the Department of Physics. His primary role involves research and teaching in theoretical particle physics, specializing in lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD). He holds a PhD from the University of Cambridge (2010) and has held postdoctoral positions at MIT and the College of William & Mary. He is a key member of the Flavour Lattice Averaging Group and the US Lattice QCD Collaboration, contributing to Snowmass studies on particle physics.
Research focuses on precision lattice QCD calculations to study hadron properties, including resonance form factors, bottomonium behavior in quark-gluon plasma, and exotic tetraquark states. His work aids experimental efforts like LHCb, predicting hadron masses and probing Standard Model extensions.
Teaching includes advanced courses such as Quantum Field Theory and Electromagnetic Theory at both undergraduate and graduate levels. Recent grants include a DOE award (Co-PI) and an NSF grant (Sole PI) for flavor physics and collider-related studies.
Scientific contributions include the 'RHIC Physics Fellow' (2014–2019) and leadership in topical groups for weak decays of b and c quarks. Advised students include Callum Farrell, Forrest Guyton, and others. His research spans over 100 publications, with recent work emphasizing high-precision form factors and resonance dynamics.
