Biographical Sketch
Prof. Bodek received his B.S. in Physics (1968) from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and his Ph.D. in Physics (1972) also from MIT. He was a postdoctoral associate at MIT (1972-74) and a Robert E. Millikan Fellow at Caltech (1974-77). Prof. Bodek joined the University as an Assistant Professor of Physics in 1977. He was promoted to Associate Professor in 1980, and to Professor in 1987. Prof. Bodek was appointed as an Alfred P. Sloan Fellow (1979-81); NSF-JSPS Fellow, KEK, Japan (1986); and Fellow of the American Physical Society (1985). He served as a project director at the Department of Energy (1990-91), as Associate Chair (1995-98), and Chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy (1998-2007. He is on the editorial board of the European Physics Journal C. . Professor Bodek was awarded the 2004 APS W.KH. Panofsky Prize in Experimental Particle Physics "For his broad, sustained, and insightful contributions to elucidating the structure of the nucleon, using a wide variety of probes, tools and methods at many laboratories." In 2004, Bodek received the University of Rochester Award for Excellence in Graduate Teaching. He was included in ISI list of highly cited researchers in 2004. In 2007, he was received a distinguished service award from the department of Physics and Astronomy.
Research
Prof. Bodek research interest is in the field of Experimental High Energy Physics. For his Ph.D., he worked under Profs. Henry Kendall and Jerome Friedmann on the MIT-SLAC deep inelastic electron scattering experiments that provided evidence for the quark structure of matter; the 1990 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Friedman, Kendall and Taylor for these experiments.
Prof. Bodek's current research interests are in the physics of W', Z's and Dileptons (CDF); neutrino physics and neutrino oscillations (CCFR/NuTeV/MINERvA at Fermilab); deep inelastic scattering and nucleon structure (JUPITER at Jefferson Lab); quark distributions in nuclei. In the area of instrumentation, Prof. Bodek's research is in the area of scintillating tile/optical-fiber hadron calorimeters.
Prof. Bodek's research group is currently involved in the CDF, CMS and MINERvA experiments. He is also the co-spokesperson of the Jefferson Lab JUPITER program (experiment E04-001). In CDF his group has the CDF plug upgrade hadron calorimeter. For CMS his group has constructed the HCAL hadron calorimeter. Both calorimeters were constructed using tile-fiber technology.
