UTA’s involvement in ATLAS spans nearly three decades, showcasing it as a powerhouse in fundamental physics research. The University has consistently played a leading role in analyzing data from the Large Hadron Collider, searching for potential new forces and particles that challenge existing theories of the universe.
In addition to Dr. De, key tenured physics faculty participating in ATLAS are Amir Farbin, Haleh Hadavand and Andy Paul White. Other UTA research faculty involved in the project include Blake Burghgrave, Nurcan Ozturk, Giulio Usai and Armen Vartapetian.
“The ATLAS program at UTA has fostered generations of physicists, leading to numerous PhDs and master’s degrees,” De said. “In addition to faculty, many of our students have traveled to CERN over the years to participate in hands-on research and work alongside some of the leading minds in physics. This collaboration has proven to be the best training ground for up-and-coming physicists to learn and develop new tools that further our understanding of the universe.”
