John Ruhl (physicist)

John Ruhl is Connecticut Professor in Physics and Astronomy at Case Western Reserve University.[1]

Education

Ruhl received a BS in physics from the University of Michigan in 1987 and a Ph.D. in physics from Princeton in 1993.[1] While a graduate student at Princeton, Ruhl, along with several other graduate students, co-authored the text Princeton Problems in Physics.[2] His doctoral dissertation, A search for anisotropy in the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation, was supervised by Mark Dragovan.[3]

Research

Ruhl is an experimentalist in cosmology. He studies the cosmic microwave background radiation and has been principal or co-principal investigator on the Spider CMB,[4] South Pole Telescope,[5] ACBAR[6] and Boomerang experiments.[7]

Recognition

Ruhl was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) in 2005, after a nomination from the APS Division of Astrophysics, "for his fundamental experimental contributions to the study of the cosmic microwave background radiation".[8] In 2016, Case gave him their John S. Diekhoff Award for Distinguished Graduate Student Mentoring.[9]
