Dr. Ernst Sichtermann earned his MSc from Utrecht University (1994) and PhD from Free University (2001) in The Netherlands. After postdoctoral research at Yale University (2001-2003), he joined Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in 2003, where he is presently a senior scientist.
Dr. Ernst Sichtermann's main scientific research interests concern spin and the structure of nucleons. He has made deep-inelastic scattering measurements at CERN, pursued the muon anomalous magnetic moment at BNL, and is currently performing measurements with the STAR experiment at RHIC and preparing the case for a future Electron Ion Collider. The CERN and RHIC measurements aim to address the fundamental question how quarks and gluons carry the nucleon spin. He once served as co-convener of spin working group in the STAR experiment and acting group leader of the relativistic nuclear collision (RNC) group in Nuclear Science Division of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
