John Conway (physicist)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Stephen Conway (* around 1959) is an American experimental particle physicist . He is a professor at the University of California, Davis (UCD).

Conway graduated from Northwestern University with a bachelor's degree in physics in 1981 and received his PhD from the University of Chicago in 1987 . After that, he was at the University of Wisconsin-Madison , was from 1993 Assistant Professor and from 1999 associate professor at Rutgers University and in 2004 was Associate Professor and in 2006 Professor at UCD. He heads the collider group at UCD.

From 1987 to 1992 he was involved in the Aleph collaboration and from 1994 to 2000 in the RD42 collaboration at CERN and from 1993 in the CDF experiment of the Fermilab (2001 to 2003 as speaker) and from 1997 in the CMS experiment of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN . His research focuses on the search for the Higgs boson, heavy quarks and physics beyond the Standard Model.

Conway is a Fellow of the American Physical Society (2008).
