Joseph Lykken
Joseph David Lykken (born June 17, 1957 in Minneapolis , Minnesota ) is an American theoretical physicist who specializes in string theory and high-energy physics.
Lykken, the son of psychologist David T. Lykken (1928-2006), attended the Phillips Exeter Academy , studied at the University of Minnesota ( Bachelor 1977) and received his doctorate in 1982 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology . As a post-doctoral student he was at Los Alamos National Laboratory and the City University of New York . From 1987 he was at the Santa Cruz Institute for Particle Physics and from 1989 at the Fermilab . He is in the theory department of Fermilab and has been involved in the CMS experiment of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN since 2007 .
In 2000 he was visiting professor at the University of Wisconsin – Madison and in 2005 at the University of Valencia. From 2001 to 2005 he was a professor at the Enrico Fermi Institute at the University of Chicago .
He deals with string theory, dark matter , physics of the Higgs boson , supersymmetry and extra dimensions. In 1996 he proposed weak scale superstrings with extra dimensions that should be observable in large particle accelerator experiments like the one at the LHC.
He was director of the Particles and Fields Division of the American Physical Society (APS). He is a Fellow of the APS (1999) and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (2003). He has been a trustee of the Aspen Center for Physics since 2007 .
