Biography
Harvey Newman (Sc. D, MIT 1974), has been a Caltech faculty member in physics since 1982. He was one of the founders of the US LHC Users Organization in 2007, and has chaired the Executive Committee of the US LHC Users Association that he founded in 2013, which is hosted by URA. In 1973-4 he co-led the team at the CEA that discovered the large hadron cross section in electron-positron collisions due to color and the fourth quark flavor charm. He co-led the MARK J Collaboration that discovered the gluon, the carrier of the strong force in 1979. Since 1994 he has been a member of the CMS Collaboration that discovered the Higgs boson in 2012. CMS co-leading the Caltech group. He also led the MINOS and NOvA teams at Caltech studying neutrino oscillations in 2004-11.
Newman has had a leading role in originating, developing and operating state of the art international networks and collaborative systems serving the high energy physics community since 1982. He served on the IETF and the Technical Advisory Group that led to the NSFNet in 1985-6. He was an originator of the worldwide LHC Computing Model in 1996. Between 1985 and 2015 he and his team developed and operated the US LHCNet transatlantic network serving the high energy physics community. He has led science and network engineering teams that have developed state of the art long distance data transfer applications, and as chair of the ICFA Standing Committee on Regional Connectivity he has worked on digital divide issues in many countries since 2002. In 2019, he joined the Global Network Advancement Group Leadership Team and in 2020 founded and chairs the Data Intensive Sciences Working Group. He and the Caltech HEP and campus network teams are currently developing next generation Internet architectures and global software-defined networked systems with many university, laboratory, research and education network and corporate partners.
Newman, a Fellow of the American Physical Society, received a Lifetime Achievement Award in High Energy Physics from the DOE Office of Science in 2016, the Order of Merit “Jose Bonifacio” Medal from the State University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 2009 , and Doctor Honoris Causa degrees from the Politechnica University in Bucharest Romania and from the Pavel Josef Safarik University in Kosice, Slovakia in 2007.
