Eric Hessels is a Full Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at York University. He specializes in high-precision laser spectroscopy and the experimental tests of Quantum Electrodynamics and the Standard Model of particle physics. His research includes studying antihydrogen and conducting tests on the fundamental symmetries of physics. Additionally, Hessels investigates atomic hydrogen to measure the proton radius accurately, exploring discrepancies found in muonic hydrogen studies. His work involves using lasers to achieve high-precision measurements of atomic properties. He collaborates on projects aimed at holding antihydrogen atoms in magnetic traps for precise spectroscopic tests. His research contributes significantly to understanding fundamental forces in nature through the fine structure constant measurement related to atoms, chemicals, and magnetic interactions.
