Professor Sekula is an Associate Professor of Physics at Southern Methodist University. He teaches physics and conducts research at the energy frontier (the ATLAS Experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland). His present focus is on the nature and properties of the newly discovered Higgs Particle. In the past, he was active in the "Intensity Frontier" of his field through the BaBar Experiment. He led the team that discovered the ground state of the bottomonium system in 2008 and contributed to several other measurements and searches, including the observation of CP violation in the B meson system and the observation of the rare decay B+→τν. He became an Assistant Professor at SMU in 2009 and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2015. He held postdoctoral positions at MIT and The Ohio State University from 2004-2009. He earned my Ph.D. in physics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2004, and prior to that his B.S. in physics from Yale University in 1998.
