Dr. Tatar received a BS degree in Physics from Sofia University, Bulgaria in 1989. He worked as a junior physicist at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, Russia, before moving to the USA to study Physics at the University of Notre Dame under the supervision of Professor Neal Cason. In 1999 Mr. Tatar presented a paper on Groups and Representation Theory and was awarded a MS degree in Applied Mathematics. A year later, he completed a dissertation on Hadron Spectroscopy of Light Mesons and earned a PhD in Experimental Particle Physics. Dr. Tatar joined the faculty of Idaho State University in August 2001, where he remains until now.
Dr. Tatar’s scientific interests are in experimental and phenomenological studies of strong and weak interactions and the possible extensions of the Standard Model. He was a member of the team that discovered the first mesons with exotic quantum numbers, after analyzing a large data set from Brookhaven National Laboratory. His current scientific work includes high-precision measurements of the neutron decay asymmetry at Los Alamos, and neutrino oscillation experiments at Fermilab.
