Frank Wuerthwein is a Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of California, San Diego. He earned his Ph.D. from Cornell University in 1995. His primary research interest lies in searching for new phenomena at the high energy frontier, particularly using the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). His topics of interest include limited searches for dark matter and electroweak symmetry breaking. As an experimentalist, he is furthermore interested in instrumentation and data analysis. Over the years, he has developed, deployed, and operated a worldwide distributed computing system for high throughput computing, managing large data volumes. By 2010, the large data volumes handled had reached Petabytes, and by 2020, expectations were to grow to Exabytes. His publications include significant contributions such as the observation of WZ production, strong evidence for ZZ production, and searches for the Higgs Boson decaying into W pairs.
Administered by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Curricular groups include Climate-Ocean-Atmosphere (COAP), Geosciences (GEO), and Ocean Biosciences (OBP).
