Biography

Christine Aidala is a professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Michigan. She specializes in experimental high-energy physics, focusing on nuclear particle physics and quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Her research investigates spin-momentum correlations in protons, analogously to quantum electrodynamical spin-orbit couplings in hydrogen atoms. Aidala is involved in large international collaborations at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). Her work includes leading efforts on the Electron-Ion Collider and contributing to projects that seek to identify fundamental principles in physics through rigorous re-derivation. Recognized for her contributions, she has received accolades such as the Sloan Research Fellowship, the NSF CAREER Award, and was a Fulbright Scholar Fellow with the American Physical Society.
