Mark Trodden is Named Institute of Physics Fellow

Mark Trodden, Fay R. and Eugene L. Langberg Professor of Physics, has been elected as a Fellow of the Institute of Physics. Fellow is the senior grade of membership, reserved for those in all sectors who have made a significant contribution to their profession, either directly through their work or by supporting the development or promotion of physics.

Trodden’s research interests include investigation of models that shed light on unsolved physics mysteries like the nature of dark matter, the origin of the baryon asymmetry and the fundamental origin of inflation or other physics of the early universe. He is co-director of the Penn Center for Particle Cosmology.

He sits on several editorial boards, including The Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, Physics Letters B and New Journal of Physics. From 2005 to 2007, Trodden was a Sir Thomas Lyle Fellow, awarded by the University of Melbourne, Australia, and in 2006 he received the Science and Technology Outreach Award from the Technology Alliance of Central New York.
