Yuval Grossman, professor of physics in the College of Arts and Sciences, has been elected a fellow of the American Physical Society (APS).
The fellowship program recognizes physicists who have made exceptional contributions in physics research; important applications of physics, leadership in or service to physics; or significant contributions to physics education.
Grossman works in the field of high-energy physics phenomenology, which explores physics beyond the Standard Model. He was elected to APS for “seminal contributions in flavor physics.” (“Flavor” refers to the species of an elementary particle - there are six flavors of quarks and six of leptons in the Standard Model.) The APS cited Grossman’s work in the “physics of the D mesons, CP violation in the B system, and novel flavor physics from extra dimensions.”
With a focus on interpreting experimental data and suggesting new analyses to be done with running and near future experiments, Grossman’s interests span a wide range of topics in high-energy physics, including astroparticle physics, neutrinos and collider phenomenology.
APS fellowship is limited to no more than 0.5% of all APS members in a given year. There were 149 elected APS fellows this year. A total of 145 Cornell researchers have been elected since the fellowship was established in 1921.
