Dr Alex Gilman

Stipendiary Lecturer in Physics

Profile

I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Physics and Mathematics from Loyola University Chicago. After that, I went on for my doctoral degree in physics, specialising in a particle physics from the University of Minnesota. I moved to Oxford in 2020 for a research position in the Physics department.

College teaching

I teach second-year electromagnetism and optics and third-year particle physics for Lincoln physics students. In the past, I have taught first-year and second-year mathematics for physics students at Oxford.

Research: My research focuses on delivering precision measurements of fundamental particles called quarks. I work with two particle collider experiments to achieve this: the LHCb experiment at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, and the BESIII experiment in Beijing.
