(PhD 2010 in Nuclear Physics)
I stayed in Academia, right now I'm trying to survive the first year as an Assistant Professor. Teaching is a lot more fun than I thought it would be. My research is two fold: One half of my research is focused on precision measurements of the proton form factors (proton radius puzzle, form factor ratio puzzle), the other half on streaming readout for next-gen experiments.
- pontifier 8y agoInteresting research... I hadn't given much consideration to the interior structure of protons and neutrons before.
- davrosthedalek 8y agoIt is! If you look around you, essentially all the mass you see is generated dynamically by QCD inside the nucleons. And while we believe we can write down all the rules for QCD, we can not solve the equations well enough that we can reliably predict outcomes (emergent properties, like the masses, size etc), except if we do lattice QCD, which is essentially a brute-force numerical solution.
