Quick Summary

  • Professor John Conway had a conversation about particle physics on Chancellor Gary May's podcast

For more than 40 years, physicist John Conway has led research in high-energy particle physics, a field driven by a simple yet profound goal: to understand what the universe is made of and how it works.

He is this month’s guest on Face to Face With Chancellor May. Conway’s career has been fueled by the thrill of colliding subatomic particles at extraordinary energies and capturing the results with some of the most sophisticated instruments ever built.

“It’s something I could never let go off — this idea that you can collide particles and create new matter out of just the energy,” Conway said. “I’ve never lost passion for it.”
