Prof. Meenakshi Narain received her PhD in physics from the State University of New York at Stony Brook. She joined the Brown faculty in 2007 having previously taught at Boston University. She enjoys helping students and is continually exploring new ways of teaching physics to both graduate and undergraduate students.
Narain’s research interests are in experimental high energy physics and her ultimate goal is to illuminate the character of physics at the TeV energy scale. For almost two decades she has performed research at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory located in Illinois where she was instrumental in the discovery of the most massive fundamental particle known, the top quark, and has since investigated its properties. She is now carrying out experiments with even higher energy collisions at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland.
Narain is a Fellow of the American Physical Society. She has been a Wilson Fellow at Fermilab and has received a Professional Opportunities for Women in Research and Education grant, Major Research Infrastructure grants, and the CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation. She is also a recipient of the Outstanding Junior Investigator Award from the US Department of Energy.
