Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSamuel Homiller is an assistant professor and theoretical particle physicist with nine years of research and teaching experience focused on the Higgs boson, flavor physics, effective field theory, and early-universe connections to particle physics and cosmology. After a Ph.D. from Stony Brook and postdoctoral positions at Harvard and Cornell as a Hans Bethe Fellow, he now leads theory research at the University of Pittsburgh and contributes to the Pitt-PACC. His work blends formal quantum field theory with collider phenomenology and dark matter model-building, linking precision theory to experimental probes. Trained also in mathematics, he combines rigorous analytical methods with a knack for translating abstract theory into testable predictions—an approach informed by both theory and earlier experimental-group experience.
