Curtis Meyer

Curtis Meyer is the Otto Stern Professor of Physics and Courtesy Professor at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, affiliated with the Department of Physics at Carnegie Mellon University. His research focuses on Nuclear & Particle Physics, particularly the Quark Interaction Experiment. Meyer's work explores the fundamental properties of protons and neutrons, including the confinement of quarks and the behavior of quarks within nucleons. He is the spokesperson for the GlueX experiment at Jefferson Lab, which investigates the spectrum of exotic hybrid mesons through high-energy particle collisions. Meyer's academic career includes positions at Carnegie Mellon University, where he has held roles from Assistant Professor to Professor with indefinite tenure. His research integrates theoretical and experimental approaches, leveraging advanced computational tools and experimental facilities to address key questions in quantum chromodynamics.

Curtis Meyer is a Professor of Physics at Carnegie Mellon University, specializing in Particle Physics and Nuclear Physics. His research focuses on experimental particle physics, particularly in high-energy collisions and the structure of hadrons. Meyer's work includes studies on luminosity determination, the spin-0 nature of the Higgs boson, and exotic baryons observed in photoproduction processes. He has contributed to experiments at the LHC, HERA, and Jefferson Lab, analyzing data from detectors such as ATLAS and the crystal barrel spectrometer. His research also explores proton structure functions, deep-inelastic scattering, and nucleon resonances, with an emphasis on understanding fundamental interactions and quantum chromodynamics.
