Dr. Andreas Jung is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics & Astronomy. He received his Doctorate in High Energy Physics on detector instrumentation and measurements of deep inelastic electron-proton collisions in 2009 from University of Heidelberg, Germany. As a postdoctoral researcher at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory near Chicago, IL he worked on silicon-based charged particle detectors used to record proton-anti-proton collisions at the Tevatron particle accelerator. In 2015 he moved to Purdue University and currently works on the upgrade of the silicon detector for the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, the largest particle collider in the world located in Geneva, Switzerland.
Senior Distinguished Researcher at the Large Hadron Collider Physics Center at Fermilab, Chicago, 2019.
