Biography
Distinguished Professor emeritus Paul Grannis joined the Stony Brook faculty in 1966
following a PhD and postdoc position at the University of California, Berkeley. He
retired in 2007, and continues as a Research Professor. He served as chair of the
Department of Physics and Astronomy from 2002 to 2005, as spokesperson of the DZero
collaboration from 1983 to 1996 and 2014 to the present, and as chair of the American
Physical Society Division of Particles and Fieldsin 1997. His honors include the W.K.H.
Panofsky Prize of the APS, co-winner of the European Physical Society High Energy
Physics Prize, honorary doctorate at Ohio University and foreign member of the Russian
Academy of Sciences.
Research Statement
Paul Grannis has conducted experiments in high energy physics since 1963 at the Lawrence
Berkeley Lab, Brookhaven National Lab, Fermi National Acceleratory Laboratory, CERN
in Geneva Switzerland, and the Rutherford Laboratory in England. His contributions
include the first observation of the rising total cross section in high energy proton-proton
collisions, discovery of the top quark, high precision measurements of the W boson
mass, first evidence for the Higgs boson in decays to bottom quarks, and the observation
of the Odderon in high energy elastic scattering. He has led world-wide efforts to
establish a new electron-positron collider to study the Higgs boson couplings, perform
precision measurements of the top quark, W and Z boson properties, and seek new physics
beyond the standard paradigm. A more complete summary of his research activities can
be found at his home page and his CV.
