Dr. Jan C. Bernauer received his Doctorate from Mainz University in 2010 for a precision measurement of the proton form factors, a corner-stone measurement of the proton radius puzzle. He then joined MIT, initially as a postdoc on the OLYMPUS experiment, a milestone experiment in the study of two-photon exchange in lepton-proton scattering, for which he servers as analysis coordinator. He later was promoted to Research Scientist, working on MUSE (software coordinator), DarkLight and TPEX. In 2018, he joined the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Stony Brook University, in a joint position with the Riken BNL Research Center. Continuing the work on MUSE, DarkLight and TPEX, his group is now also involved in the DAQ aspects of sPHENIX and EIC.

Prof. Bernauer is on a joint position at SBU with the Riken BNL Research Center. His research focus is on precision measurements. His group is currently involved in experiments at MAMI, CERN and DESY, in MUSE @ PSI, sPHENIX at BNL and DarkLight at JLAB.

• The experiments in Mainz, at CERN and MUSE@PSI are focused on precision proton form factor measurements to illuminate the proton radius puzzle.
• TPEX@DESY is a planned experiment for precision measurements of the two photon exchange in elastic lepton nucleon scattering.
• DarkLight is a dark matter search focused on a proposed 17 MeV force carrier in the dark sector.
• For sPHENIX and BNL, Prof. Bernauer's research group is involved in the design of streaming readout electronics.
