Curriculum Vitae. (Last updated: 2024 Sep 05)

Biography
Jan C. Bernauer is an Associate Professor at Stony Brook University since 2018. Prior, from 2010 to 2018, he was a postdoctoral associate and then research scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He completed his PhD in 2010 at the Johannes Gutenberg University located in his home town of Mainz, Germany.

Research Statement
Jan Bernauer's group in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Stony Brook focuses on the physics at the intersection between Nuclear and Particle physics. The group is involved in a series of precision form factor measurements of the proton, a touchstone for our understanding of non-perturbative QCD. Further interests lie in the search of Beyond the Standard Model physics via electron scattering at low energies. Last but certainly not least, the group is working on the streaming readout of the sPHENIX experiment, and is heavily involved in the planning of the streaming DAQ for the upcoming experiments at the EIC.
