Christopher Tully is a professor of physics at Princeton University. He received his BS in physics from Caltech in 1992 and his PhD in physics from Princeton University in 1998. He is a leading expert in the standard model of elementary particles. His research in particle physics spans three decades at energy-frontier particle colliders, including the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Illinois and CERN’s Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland, where he was a member of the team that discovered the Higgs boson. He was a CERN fellow from 1998 to 2000, and he received a Sloan Fellowship (2003) and the IBM Einstein Fellowship at the Institute for Advanced Study in New Jersey (2010). He is the author of the textbook Elementary Particle Physics in a Nutshell and a contributing author to 100 Years of Subatomic Physics.
