Bio

Prof. Huston has over 600 publications with greater than 30,000 citations including 9 renowned papers (more than 500 cites), 5 of which are experimental papers and 4 phenomenology.

He is the co-spokesman of the CTEQ collaboration. He is a visiting professor at the Institute for Particle Physics at Durham University (UK) and has been invited as a Distinguished Visitor by the the Scottish Universities Physics Alliance (SUPA). He has organized many workshops, including six at Les Houches, at Santa Barbara (a 3 month workshop at the Kavli Institute), at Cambridge University and at Fermilab (TeV4LHC). He delivered the plenary talk on QCD at the 1998 International Conference in High Energy Physics held in Vancouver, the plenary talk on Photon and Drell-Yan physics at the 1989 Lepton-Photon meeting at Stanford, and the plenary talk on experimental QCD at the 2011 DPF meeting in Providence. He is one of the authors of the Handbook on Perturbative QCD, published by CTEQ in the Reviews of Modern Physics. He is one of the authors of the CTEQ parton distribution functions and has worked on developing many phenomenology tools (such as parton error pdfs, the Les Houches accords) crucial for todays experimental analyses. He has published recent review articles on physics at the LHC and on jet production in hadron-hadron colliders. He is also writing a book for Oxford University Press on QCD at the LHC.
