Eric Fuchey

Postdoctoral Research Associate

Physics

Dr. Eric Fuchey was a group member from 2016-2022 Dr. Fuchey received his Ph.D. from the Université Blaise Pascal in Clermont-Ferrand, France in 2010. His dissertation research focused on the exclusive electroproduction of neutral pions in the hard-scattering regime in Jefferson Lab’s Hall A. These results were published in Physical Review C in 2011. Prior to joining UConn, he previously held postdoctoral research appointments at Temple University and at the CEA Saclay. Dr. Fuchey is the author or co-author of more than fifty refereed journal publications.  He played a lead role in the development of the Monte Carlo simulation, event reconstruction and data analysis software for the Super BigBite Spectrometer (SBS) family of experiments that started in 2021 in Hall A at Jefferson Lab. He is also the cospokesperson and contact person of experiment E12-20-010 to precisely measure the so-called “Rosenbluth Slope” in elastic electron-neutron scattering at a Q² of 4.5 GeV², that collected data in early 2022 that are currently under analysis. As of this writing, he has taken a new position at Mississippi State University to work on the SpinQuest experiment at Fermilab.
