Thomas Ferbel

Thomas Ferbel received the B.A. degree in chemistry, in 1959, and his Ph.D. degree in physics, in 1963. He joined the University of Rochester in 1965, where he is a Professor, and also served as the Associate Dean for Graduate Studies at the College of Arts and Science. He has held visiting appointments at Fermilab, CERN, SSC Design Group at LBL, LAL Orsay, the MPI in Munich, University of Mainz, University of Freiburg, and IC, London. Ferbel coauthored with Ashok Das “Introduction to nuclear and particle physics” (World Sci) and its solution manual with Ashok Das and C. Bromberg. He is editor of Experimental Technology in High Energy Nucleous and Particle Physics (World Sci), Silicon Detectors for High Energy Physics (Fermilab), and a series on Techniques and Concepts of High Energy Physics (Plenum/Kluwer), based on the Advanced Study Institute on Particle Physics that he founded and directed from 1980 to 2000. Ferbel has served on editorial boards of Physics Rev D and Z fur Physik, and is on the the board of the International Journal of Modern Physics and Modern Physics Letters. He is a Fellow of the American Physics Society, and has served as Sec/Treas of the Division of Particles and Fields, and as Chair of the APS Community on the International Freedom of Scientists. He was regional secretary of the URA that managed Fermilab. He received a Colden Award (Queens Coll), was an A. P. Sloan Fellow, a J. S. Guggenheim Fellow, a recipient of a Humboldt Prize and a Senior PPARC Fellowship, IC, London. Ferbel's research interests are in experimental physics, with recent activities focused on the top quark. Ferbel is currently the Manager of the US LHC Research Program at CERN.
