Physical Review D Staff

Editor: Erick J. Weinberg

Erick received his Ph.D. in physics from Harvard in 1973. After a postdoc at the Institute for Advanced Study, he moved to Columbia University, where he is now a Professor of Physics. He is a former chair of the department and an APS Fellow. His current research interests focus on issues in quantum field theory, including those with implications for early universe cosmology. He has been Editor of Physical Review D since 1996. He works remotely from New York, NY.

Editor: Urs M. Heller

Urs received a diploma in physics at the ETH Zürich and a Ph.D. in theoretical high energy physics at Rutgers University. He held postdoctoral research positions at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, at CERN, and at the Institute for Theoretical Physics at UCSB. Afterwards, he was a research scientist at Florida State University, working in lattice QCD, before joining PRD in 2002.

Associate Editor: Ansar Fayyazuddin

Ansar received his PhD in theoretical physics from Stockholm University. After postdoctoral research at Nordita, the Niels Bohr Institute, Harvard University and Brandeis University, he joined the faculty at Stockholm University. He then moved to New York and taught at the City University of New York before joining Physical Review D in 2008.

Associate Editor: Robert D. Pisarski

Rob obtained his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1975. After positions at Yale, Santa Barbara, and Fermilab, he moved to Brookhaven National Lab in 1989, where he is currently a Senior Scientist and Deputy Director of the RIKEN/BNL Research Center. He is particularly interested in QCD under extreme conditions of temperature and density.

Associate Editor: Rashmi Ray

Rashmi received his Ph.D. from the City University of New York, working on the application of field theoretic techniques to planar condensed matter systems. Subsequent to post-doctoral stints at the University of Maryland, the Universitat de Barcelona and the Universite de Montreal, he joined the APS as an editor for Physical Review Letters in 1999, before moving on to Physical Review D in 2002. In addition to fulfilling his responsibilities as an editor for Physical Review D, Rashmi is a long term visitor at the physics department of the City College of New York, where he maintains active research in theoretical physics.

Associate Editor: Joshua Sayre

Josh received his Ph. D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2008. After graduation he held positions as a post-doctoral researcher, first at the University of Oklahoma and and then, starting in 2012, at the University of Pittsburgh before joining the editorial team of Physical Review D in 2016. His research has covered a number of areas in high energy phenomenology including collider simulations, Higgs physics, neutrino models, grand unified theories, supersymmetry, and other beyond-the-standard-model theories.

Associate Editor: Alin Tirziu

Alin received his Ph.D. from the University of Virginia in 2004. Before joining PRD in 2010, he has held postdoctoral research appointments at the Ohio State University and Purdue University. His research interests include string theory, AdS/CFT duality, gravity and gauge theories.

Associate Editor: Robert Wimmer

Robert received his Ph.D. from the Vienna Technical University in 2003. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the Leibniz University Hannover, Stony Brook University and the ENS Lyon. His research interests are quantum field theory, string theory, monopoles etc. and cosmology. Since 2012 he is an affiliate of the C.N. Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics at Stony Brook University. Robert joined PRD in 2013.

Senior Editorial Assistant: Maria Poko

Maria started her career with the APS in 1989 as a correspondent of a training manual and went on to be an editorial support coordinator and an editorial assistant. She started working exclusively for PRD and joined the PRD editorial team in 2006.
