BOLEK WYSLOUCH, Professor
of Physics
Research Interests
Professor Wyslouch studies the interactions
between the subatomic particles by looking at the violent collisions
of heavy ions. He and his colleagues are hoping to observe the creation
of a new state of nuclear matter, the Quark Gluon Plasma.

Biographical Sketch
After completing his undergraduate work in
Physics at the University of Warsaw in 1981, Professor Wyslouch
began his association with MIT, first as a doctoral student, where
he earned a Ph.D. in Physics in 1987. In the same year, he became
a postdoctoral fellow at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics
(CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland. From 1990, he was a Research Associate
with MIT's Laboratory for Nuclear Science (LNS), stationed at CERN,
before being named an Assistant Professor in 1991. Professor Wyslouch
was promoted to Associate Professor without tenure in 1997 and Associate
Professor with tenure in July 1998. In July 2002, he was promoted
to full Professor.
