Jeff Sheen

Visiting Assistant Professor
Department of Engineering, Computer Science, & Physics

Jeffrey Sheen, Ph.D., began his undergraduate career as an Electrical and Computer Engineering major at Wayne State University in Detroit, MI. Upon taking his first Physics class, he fell in love with the fundamental nature of the core science, and immediately switched his major. He continued at WSU for his graduate career as one of the first graduate students in the school’s High Energy Nuclear Physics Program in 1992. There, his research focused on high energy heavy ion collisions as part of the E864, E877, and E896 collaborations at Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island, NY. He was awarded his Ph.D. in 2001 on Lambda and Anti-lambda Production in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions of Au-Au at 11.6 GeV/c.

Dr. Sheen has a passion for making complex concepts simple. To feed that passion, he enjoys volunteering within OSU’s Wonders of the World program, which brings the excitement of science and engineering to elementary schools in the Columbus metro school districts. Here, he hopes to inspire the next great engineer or scientist to pursue their dreams and invent wonderous new technology or discover new scientific principles. He is also an avid cyclist (even in the dead of winter!) and enjoys building LEGO models.
