Vernon R. Cupps

Dr. Vernon R. Cupps is a nuclear physicist and a research associate at Institute for Creation Research.

Education
Dr. Vernon Cupps received his B.S. with Honors and M.S. in Physics at the University of Missouri-Columbia, and his Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics at Indiana University-Bloomington, where he worked at the Indiana University Cyclotron Facility. He is a published researcher with 73 publications, 18 of which are in refereed journals.

From 1980 to 1987, he was employed as a Research Assistant at the Indiana University Cyclotron Facility. He has been an officer in US Navy and worked as an applied physicist in a DOD material analysis laboratory. Between 1987 and 1988, Dr. Cupps filled a postdoctoral fellowship with Rutgers University. During this time he worked at LAMPF in Los Alamos, NM. Since 1988, he has been employed at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.
