Education and career

Einhorn received in 1965 his B.S. with honors from Caltech and in 1968 his Ph.D. from Princeton University under Marvin Leonard Goldberger.[2] After postdoctoral positions at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) and at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL), he became a staff physicist at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab). In 1976, he joined the faculty of the physics department of the University of Michigan where he was eventually promoted to full professor[1] and retired as professor emeritus in 2004.[3][4]

He was a visiting professor at NORDITA, SLAC, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the Centre de physique des particules de Marseille (fr) (CPPM), and Ben Gurion University of the Negev in Beersheva.[1] In the 1990s he was on the Sakurai Prize selection committee.[5]

His research publications span topics in the parton model, perturbative and nonperturbative QCD, cosmology, Higgs physics, supersymmetric grand unification, mass singularities and their consequences, and extended technicolor models. His primary interest is in physics beyond the Standard Model.[5]

Einhorn is an emeritus research professor of UCSB's Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics and was the Institute's Deputy Director from 1990 to 1992 and from 2004 to 2013.[1]
