Timothy Chupp

Timothy Chupp is a Professor of Physics, Applied Physics, and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Michigan. His research focuses on precision measurement techniques in particle physics, including muon g-2 experiments at Fermilab and neutron EDM measurements at Los Alamos National Lab. He leads the Chupp Lab, which explores applications of these technologies in biomedical imaging and quantum sensing.

His work challenges Standard Model predictions by measuring magnetic signatures of particles and addressing fundamental questions about matter's origin, dark matter, and neutrino physics. Collaborations include Fermilab, Los Alamos National Lab, and institutions in Germany. He also engages in outreach, including science education for elementary students and public lectures on topics like the physics of sports and Halloween.

Key areas of research include optical magnetometry, symmetry violation studies, and interdisciplinary applications of quantum sensors. He oversees a team of graduate students, postdocs, and undergraduates, with recent PhD advisees contributing to muon g-2, neutron EDM, and magnetometry projects. His lab’s innovations in 3He magnetometry and SQUID detection advance both fundamental physics and practical sensor technologies.

Outreach activities include classroom demonstrations, Saturday Morning Physics lectures, and contributions to the Washtenaw Science Olympiad. His research and education efforts emphasize accessibility, diversity, and bridging scientific disciplines.
