He won the 2010 American Physical Society Edward A Bouchet Award. Early life and educationWhite was born in Tuskegee, Alabama.[1] His mother, Susie Mae Fort White, worked at John Andrew Hospital and his father, Herman Brenner White Senior, served in the military.[1] He studied at the Tuskegee Institute High School, where he became interested in nuclear engineering.[1] He was raised in a segregated community.[2] He saw his role in the civil rights movement as being an exceptional student who could prove that black people deserved equal access to education.[1] He studied nuclear physics at Earlham College, before joining Michigan State University, earning a Bachelor's degree in physics in 1970.[1][3] White was awarded an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Fellowship to study at CERN, and also worked as a research associate at Argonne National Laboratory.[1][2] He completed his Master's degree in 1974.[1] He joined Fermilab in 1974, where he was the first African-American physicist to be appointed.[4] Research and careerWhite held various roles at Fermilab since joining in 1974.[3] Working with his supervisor, Ray Stefanski, he developed a simple formula to calculate neutrino flux.[5] In 1976 he joined Yale University as a research fellow. He joined Florida State University for his doctoral studies, earning a PhD in 1991.[3] He joined the Universidad Autónoma de San Luis Potosí to work on kaons. In 1994, White was appointed the Illinois Research Corridor Fellow and adjunct professor at North Central College.[3][6] He also worked on the neutrino oscillation experiment (E701) and SciBooNE.[7] He studies neutrino cross-sections and muon conversion.[2][8] In 2006 his life story was recorded by the HistoryMakers of Chicago as part of the oral history archives.[3] White supports students from diverse backgrounds in their careers in physics.[9] In 2010 White was awarded the American Physical Society Edward A. Bouchet Award for his work on the Tevatron experiment and outstanding public service.[10] He serves on the advisory board for QuarkNet, National Society of Black Physicists and the Illinois Institute of Technology.[6][2] He is a member of the Teachers Academy for Mathematics and Science in Chicago.[11] He served on the advisory panel for the United States Department of Energy and National Science Foundation.[7] He ran for congress in the 11th congressional district of Illinois in 2016.[12] In 2017 he appeared in a series of online videos for Science the Day!.[13][14] He took part in The Story Collider in Batavia, Illinois in 2018.[15][16] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{Cite web|url=http://www.idvl.org/sciencemakers/Bio12.html|title=Biography Page for Herman White|website=www.idvl.org|access-date=2018-09-30}} {{DEFAULTSORT:White, Herman Brenner}}2. ^1 2 3 {{Cite web|url=https://www.nsbp.org/nsbp-news/bhm-physics-profiles/2017-honorees/17-herman-white-jr|title=Herman White, Jr.|last=Roberson|first=Stephen|website=www.nsbp.org|language=en-gb|access-date=2018-09-30}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 {{Cite web|url=http://www.thehistorymakers.org/biography/herman-brenner-white-jr|title=Herman Brenner White, Jr. {{!}} The HistoryMakers|website=www.thehistorymakers.org|language=en|access-date=2018-09-30}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.c2st.org/fermilabs-first-black-particle-physicist-dr-herman-b-white/|title=Fermilab's First Black Particle Physicist - Dr. Herman B.
