Biography
Professor Bodek received his BS in Physics (1968) from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and his PhD in Physics (1972) also from MIT. He was a postdoctoral associate at MIT (1972-74) and a Robert E. Millikan Fellow at Caltech (1974-77). Professor Bodek joined the University as an Assistant Professor of Physics in 1977. He was promoted to Associate Professor in 1980 and to Professor in 1987. Professor Bodek was appointed as an Alfred P. Sloan Fellow (1979-81); NSF-JSPS Fellow, KEK, Japan (1986); and Fellow of the American Physical Society (1985). He served as a project director at the Department of Energy (1990-91), was Associate Chair (1995-98) and then Chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy (1998-2007) and served on the editorial board of the . Professor Bodek was awarded the in Experimental Particle Physics "for his broad, sustained, and insightful contributions to elucidating the structure of the nucleon, using a wide variety of probes, tools, and methods at many laboratories." In 2004, Professor Bodek received the 91×ÔÅÄÂÛ̳ Award for . His doctoral thesis provided some of the evidence of the quark's existence that was the basis for the . In 1998 Professor Bodek shared the Goergen Award for Distinguished Contribution to Undergrad Learning in 1998. In 2013 he shared the European Physical Society High Energy and Particle Physics Prize “for the discovery of the Higgs Boson” In 2019 he shared the European Physical Society High Energy and Particle Physics Prize “for the discovery of the top quark and the detailed measurement of its properties.
Research Overview
Professor Bodek's research interest is in the field of Experimental High Energy Physics. For his PhD, he worked under professors Henry Kendall and Jerome Friedman on the MIT-SLAC deep inelastic electron scattering experiments that provided evidence for the quark structure of matter; the was awarded to Friedman, Kendall, and Taylor for these experiments.
Professor Bodek's research interests are in the physics of W's, Z's, Dileptons at hadron colliders (, ) at Fermilab and at the Large Hadron Collider; neutrino physics and neutrino oscillations (/ at Fermilab); deep inelastic scattering and nucleon structure ( at Jefferson Lab). In the area of instrumentation, Professor Bodek's research is in the area of scintillating tiles electromagentic and hadron calorimeters.
Professor Bodek's research group has been involved in the , , and experiments. He is also the co-spokesperson of the Jefferson Lab JUPITER program (experiment E04-001). In CDF, his group built the CDF plug upgrade hadron calorimeter. For , his group joined in the constructed the HCAL hadron calorimeter. Both calorimeters were constructed using tile-fiber technology. He is also involved in the DUNE collaboration. Currently, his research is focused on precision measurement of the electroweak mixing angle at , and in the measurements and modeling of neutrino and electron scattering cross sections on nucleons and nuclear targets.
