RESEARCH INTERESTS
Professor Drobac is a particle physicist and a member of the ATLAS collaboration at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). His doctoral research studied QCD phenomena and modelling by precisely measuring the rate of production of Z bosons in association with heavy-quark jets. Outside of particle physics, Professor Drobac is interested in physics education research and is an advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts in STEM education.
