FERMILAB THEORIST CHRIS QUIGG is internationally known for his studies of heavy quarks and cosmic neutrinos, and for his insights into particle interactions at ultrahigh energies. He has been Visiting Professor at École Normale Supérieure in Paris, Cornell University, and Princeton University; Erwin Schrödinger Professor at the University of Vienna; and Scholar-in-Residence at the Rockefeller Foundation's Bellagio Study and Conference Center in Italy. Professor Quigg has lectured and written frequently for the general public on the aspirations and achievements of particle physics. He gave the first Carl Sagan Memorial Lecture in the series Cosmos Revisited at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington. He was featured recently in The Ultimate Particle, a road movie of particle physics broadcast on ARTE in France and Germany. A member of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory staff since 1974, Chris Quigg was for ten years Head of the Laboratory's Theoretical Physics Department. He served as Deputy Director of the Superconducting Super Collider Central Design Group in Berkeley from 1987 to 1989. Professor Quigg received his Bachelor of Science degree in 1966 from Yale University and his Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley in 1970. He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and of the American Physical Society, and was awarded an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship. He has just received an Alexander von Humboldt Award to conduct research in Germany. The author of a celebrated textbook on particle physics, he edited the Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle Science from 1994 to 2004. |
