Nicholas Hadley is an experimental high energy physicist. He is currently a member of the CMS experiment at CERN, where he searches for new physics at the world’s highest energy accelerator. He was one of the co-leaders of the Dzero experiment’s top group at the time of the top quark discovery. He has been a member of the Program Advisory Committees at Brookhaven, Cornell, and Fermilab, and is now a member the Canada ATLAS review committee. He served as the Associate Chair for Undergraduate Education in the Physics Department of the University of Maryland from 2007 to 2010.

Research:

• High Energy Physics

Ted Einstein received his B.S. in 1969 from Harvard University and his Ph.D. in 1973 from the University of Pennsylvania. He is an internationally recognized physicist addressing exciting questions in the field of theoretical condensed matter physics, especially in the area of surface physics. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, a Fellow of the American Vacuum Society and a recipient of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Distinguished Senior U.S. Scientist Award.
