Craig Woody

Craig Woody is an American physicist. He is a distinguished senior physicist at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). His research focuses on the development of detectors for high-energy and nuclear physics, as well as applications in medical imaging.[1]

Woody received his B.A., M.A. and Ph.D. in physics from Johns Hopkins University in 1973, 1974 and 1978, respectively.[1] He carried out his doctoral research in high-energy particle physics at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. After completing his Ph.D., he spent a year as a research associate at Stanford University before joining Brookhaven National Laboratory in 1979.[1]

He was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2002 for his expertise in the performance and characterization of scintillating crystals, particularly regarding the effects of radiation damage.[1] In 2012, he was elected a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) for his work on developing detectors for high-energy and nuclear physics.[2]
