Peter Meyers is professor of physics at Princeton University. He received his B.A. in physics from Harvard University in 1975 and his Ph.D. in physics from University of California, Berkeley in 1983. As a member of the High Energy Physics Group at Princeton he studied rare decays of K mesons at Brookhaven and searched for “sterile neutrinos” with the MiniBooNE experiment at Fermilab.  He has worked with the Princeton Particle Astrophysics group to develop liquid argon Time Projection Chambers to detect the very-low-energy nuclear recoils from the elastic scattering of “Weakly Interacting Massive Particles” (WIMPs), a once promising model for Dark Matter. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and won the Princeton University President’s Award for Distinguished Teaching in 1991. He has also held several advisory positions during his career, including chair of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) Program Advisory Committee and co-chair of the Department of Energy Neutrino Scientific Advisory Group.
