Title: ”A world view of Nuclear Physics from Working Group 9 of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics”

Robert E Tribble

Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Physics & Astronomy at Texas A&M University and Deputy Director for Science and Technology at Brookhaven National Lab

TIME: April 20 (Thu.) 10:30 - 11:18

Room: IBS SCC Auditorium(main event) & DCC 101~104(online connection)

ABSTRACT:

In this presentation, I will briefly discuss the science challenges that the world-wide Nuclear Physics community is addressing and I will give an overview of the major facilities that are now operating, or are under construction, that provide the experimental capabilities to address these challenges. The basis for the presentation is the Nuclear Physics Symposium that Working Group 9 held in June, 2022.

BRIEF CV:

Dr. Robert E. Tribble is currently Deputy Director for Science and Technology at Brookhaven National Laboratory and a Distinguised Professor Emeritus of Physics & Astronomy at Texas A&M University (TAMU). Prior to joining Brookhaven in February, 2014, Dr. Tribble was the Director of the Cyclotron Institute, starting in 2003, and Director of the Nuclear Solutions Institute at TAMU, which was created in 2010. He joined the faculty in the Department of Physics at TAMU in 1975, and was Head of the Physics Department between 1979 and 1987.

Dr. Tribble has served as a member or chair of numerous committees for the American Physical Society, including chair of the Division of Nuclear Physics, and he has served on many international advisory committees for nuclear physics facilities around the world, including RIBF-RIKEN, J-PARC, RISP, FRIB, JLab, LNS, GANIL, GSI/FAIR, and iThemba LABS. He presently is a member of the Selection and Evaluation Committe for the Institute of Basic Sciences in Korea. He was chair of the US Nuclear Science Advisory Committee (NSAC)—a Federal Advisery Committee for the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation—from December 2005 through March 2009 and was in charge of writing the NSAC 2007 Long Range Plan. He presently is co-chair of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics Working Group 9. Dr. Tribble is an experimental physicist with >600 publications.

Dr. Tribble's honors and awards include an Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship (1976-80), Fellowship in the American Physical Society (1982), a TAMU Association of Former Students college level teaching award (1992), a TAMU Association of Former Students research award (2002), an honorary doctorate from Saint Petersburg State University, Russia in 2009, the Distinguished Service Award from the American Physical Society in 2015 and election to Academia Europaea in 2017. He served for 10 years on the Editorial Board for IOP’s Reports of Progress in Physics.

Dr. Tribble earned his BS in physics at the University of Missouri – Columbia in 1969 and his PhD in physics at Princeton University in 1973. Following his PhD, he worked as an Instructor and post-doctoral research associate at Princeton University prior to joining the physics department at Texas A&M University as an Assistant Professor in January, 1975.
