Gary J. Feldman

Gary J. Feldman is an American particle physicist who works on neutrino physics with the NOvA experiment based at Fermilab.

Early life and education Feldman was born in Cheyenne, Wyoming and was raised in South Bend, Indiana. His father immigrated from Poland to the United States as a child shortly after World War I. Feldman's father attended college at the City University of New York and received his medical training at the University of Basel.

Feldman developed an interest in physics in high school after attending an open house at the University of Notre Dame. He decided to start college as a physics major with the condition that he study whatever was most interesting to him. He claims he "never found anything that interests me more". Feldman moved to Harvard for graduate school, where he attained his PhD.

Feldman chaired the Harvard Physics Department from 1994 to 1997.

Feldman is a fellow of the American Physical Society and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Feldman now serves as Frank B. Baird, Jr. Professor of Science, Emeritus at Harvard and continues work on the NOvA experiment.
