Saskia Mioduszewski

Saskia Mioduszewski is a nuclear physicist and professor at Texas A&M University.

Education Mioduszewski completed an undergraduate degree in physics and mathematics in 1994 at North Carolina State University. In 2000, she obtained her PhD in physics from the University of Tennessee. Her PhD thesis was called Centrality dependence of antiproton production in Proton-Nucleus Collisions at 17.5 and 12.3 GeV.

Career Between 2000 and 2005, Mioduszewski was a postdoctoral research associate at Brookhaven National Laboratory. During this time, she contributed to the PHENIX Experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). She is interested in studying ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions.

Awards and honours

2019 Fellow of the American Physical Society for sustained leadership of high-precision measurement of the quark-gluon plasma using direct photons and their correlations with hadrons and jets at the PHENIX and STAR experiments at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. 2018 Presidential Impact Fellow of Texas A&M University. 2009 Maria Goeppert Mayer Award for her pioneering contributions to the observation of jet quenching and her continuing efforts to understand high- p_T phenomena in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. 2003 Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers. 1998 Paul H. Stelson Nuclear Physics Award.
