About Elliott

Elliott Cheu is a University Distinguished Professor of Physics at The University of Arizona and the institution's Chief Information Officer. He earned his B.S. in Physics from Stanford University, where he participated in the construction of a vertex detector used at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. Cheu obtained his Ph.D. in Physics from Cornell University in 1991, with an emphasis on high-energy physics. Following graduate school, he conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Chicago on the KTeV experiment at Fermilab, contributing to the first observation of direct CP violation in neutral kaon decays, which demonstrated fundamental asymmetries between matter and antimatter. In 1996, Cheu joined The University of Arizona as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics, advancing to full Professor and receiving University Distinguished Professor designation in 2016.
