Gustaaf H. Brooijmans serves as Professor of Physics and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Physics at Columbia University, where he leads experimental research in high-energy particle physics with a focus on discovering phenomena beyond the Standard Model. Education: Ph.D. in Physics, Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium (1998) Research Interests: Prof. Brooijmans specializes in experimental searches for new physics through the ATLAS experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider, with significant contributions to the High-Luminosity LHC detector upgrade. His work encompasses baryon number violation studies and participation in the NNbar experiment at the European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund, Sweden, targeting fundamental symmetries in particle interactions. His research bridges theoretical predictions with cutting-edge detector development in nuclear and particle physics. Awards: No scientific awards were documented in the provided source material Advising and Grants: As Director of Graduate Studies, Prof. Brooijmans oversees Columbia's physics graduate program and mentors students in experimental particle physics. While specific grant details are unlisted, his active involvement in major international collaborations (ATLAS, NNbar) indicates substantial research funding from agencies supporting high-energy physics infrastructure. Labs and Teams: Prof. Brooijmans is a core member of the ATLAS collaboration at CERN, contributing to data analysis and detector development for the High-Luminosity LHC upgrade. He also co-develops the NNbar experiment at ESS Lund, which investigates proton-antiproton oscillations to test baryon number conservation.
