Encyclopedia
Carlos Wagner is a particle physicist
. He specializes in theoretical physics, elementary particles and supersymmetric theories. He currently works for the High Energy Physics (HEP) division of University of Chicago’s Argonne National Laboratory
(ANL) and is also a professor at the Physics Department of the University of Chicago, Enrico Fermi Institute
, and the Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics, University of Chicago. He also functions as the Head of the ANL High Energy Physics Theory Group.
In 2008, he was elected a fellow of the American Physical Society
, a distinct honor signifying recognition by one's professional peers. Wagner earned his fellowship for his contributions to the phenomenology of theories of supersymmetry and of electroweak symmetry breaking.
He is married to theoretical physicist Marcela Carena

Physicist
A physicist is a scientist who studies or practices physics. Physicists study a wide range of physical phenomena in many branches of physics spanning all length scales: from sub-atomic particles of which all ordinary matter is made to the behavior of the material Universe as a whole...
