Colloquium: Vladimir Savinov (Univ of Pittsburgh)

Speaker: Prof. Vladimir Savinov (University of Pittsburgh)

Title: Why Particle Physics Matters (to me)

Abstract: In these trying time of social upheaval, neverending wars, and rising energy prices, the speaker will share his continuing excitement about
experimental particle physics and will try to justify his intellectual pursuits on past, current, and future experiments. Some recent
measurements at the BELLE II experiment and some highlights of its physics program will be illuminated. An honest attempt will be made to
gear this colloquium toward beginning graduate students, especially in other branches of physics.

Short Bio of Prof. Vladimir Savinov:

The speaker, a native of Siberia, immigrated to the US a long time ago. He was awarded his Ph.D. degree in 1997 by the University of Minnesota for
his work on CLEO experiment at Cornell University. In 2000, after a brief stint on the BaBar experiment in Martin Perl's group at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, he joined the faculty at the University of Pittsburgh where he worked on ATLAS and BELLE experiments. Being nominally a member of DUNE, the speaker hopes to find a way to do something interesting there also.
