Glidden Visiting Professor, Physics and Astronomy

Specific research contributions will be:

• A focus on knowledge about and experience with Effective Field Theories and Bayesian statistics with a goal of interaction with faculty, students, and staff that will foster new ideas and collaborations, and contribute to the intellectual and cultural life of the campus.
• Collaborate with the Philosophy Department and with the Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics (INPP).
• Collaborate with Ohio University’s Nuclear Theory Group, which presently includes three faculty members, two post-doctoral researchers, and five Ph.D. students to enhance research productivity, stronger future grant applications of the group, and results of high relevance in theoretical nuclear physics.
• Collaborate with Professor Phillips on nuclear Compton scattering calculations.

Pedagogical benefits/activities include:

• Regular participation in the weekly group meeting of the Nuclear Theory Group, including

  interactions with Ph.D. students, post-doctoral researchers, and faculty.

• Present a seminar to students, faculty, and postdocs in INPP on universality and a colloquium in the Physics & Astronomy Department on Compton scattering.

• Present a series of INPP lectures on Bayesian data analysis.

• Participate in a symposia on reductionism, EFTs, and a Bayesian framework for scientific inference - topics that can stimulate collaboration between Philosophy and Physics & Astronomy.
