Prof. Stephan Paul is a Professor of Physics at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), holding the Chair of Physics I within the TUM School of Natural Sciences. His office is located at James-Franck-Str. 1, 85748 Garching b. München, Germany, where he maintains active research and teaching responsibilities. Prof. Paul received his doctorate from the University of Heidelberg after studying physics at the University of Bonn. His academic career includes research positions at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg and CERN, where he continues to work as a visiting scientist. He has established significant collaborations with research institutions worldwide, including KEK in Japan, MLZ in Garching, and ILL in Grenoble. His research focuses on high energy particle physics and neutron physics , with particular emphasis on hadron physics and particle physics with neutrons. Prof. Paul's work primarily involves precision measurements in B meson decays, proton structure studies, and spin physics using data from major international collaborations like Belle, Belle II, and COMPASS. His publication record shows consistent research output across decades, with 471 total publications and particularly high productivity in recent years (39 publications in 2021 alone). Analysis of his recent publications reveals strong trends in precision measurements of branching fractions, CP violation studies, investigations of exotic hadronic states, and spin-dependent phenomena in particle interactions. His research fingerprint shows dominant contributions to hadron physics (64%), muon physics (63%), and meson physics (55%), reflecting his specialization in fundamental particle interactions. His significant contributions to physics have been recognized with prestigious awards: Max Planck Fellow (2019) Federal Cross of Merit (2010) Call to the Chair of Experimental Physics at ETH Zurich and Head of the Institute for Particle Physics at PSI (rejected) (2008) Prof. Paul has held substantial leadership roles in major research initiatives. From 2006 to 2018, he coordinated the Cluster of Excellence 'Origin and Structure of the Universe' at TUM. Since 2019, he has served as co-coordinator of the Cluster of Excellence ORIGINS, which continues this important research mission addressing fundamental questions about the universe's origins and structure. He maintains an active teaching schedule, offering courses including 'Detectors for Nuclear and Particle Physics,' 'Nuclear, Particle, and Astrophysics for Students of Education,' and 'Seminar on Physics of Strong Interaction' for the Winter term 2024/25 and Summer term 2025. His teaching spans both theoretical concepts and practical applications in particle physics, reflecting his commitment to training the next generation of physicists.
