Biography

Anselm G. Vossen is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at Duke University, focusing on Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and the theory of strong interactions. His work investigates the internal structure of nucleons, particularly the dynamics associated with quarks and gluons. For over fifty years, experimental inquiries into nucleon structure have yielded significant insights into quark-gluon interactions, although important questions, such as the origin of proton spin, remain unanswered. Vossen's recent publications include works on the design and commissioning of readout electronics for the KL0 μ detector in the Belle II experiment and studies leveraging the CLAS12 detector for nuclear physics research. He has held various research grants, contributing to advancements in high energy physics both at Duke University and through collaborations with major research organizations. Vossen's academic journey includes advanced degrees from Albert Ludwigs University of Freiburg in Germany, emphasizing his strong foundation in physics research.
