311 Millennium - A Marquis Who’s Who Magazine D r. Dennis Wayne Sivers’ main goal in his career in physics has always been to accomplish something in order to fully understand the fundamental laws of nature. Since forming this initial goal, Dr. Sivers is now renowned in his industry for his achievements in the research of seminal calculations in perturbative quantum chromodynamics. Commencing his years of research as a student, he received a BS in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1966 and a PhD in theoretical physics from the University of California Berkeley in 1970. For nearly 30 years, Dr. Sivers has served as a physicist at the Portland Physics Institute, and since 1997, an adjunct professor at the University of Michigan. From 1986 to 2019, he held the distinguished role of president and chief executive officer of the Portland Physics Institute and D.W. Sivers Company. Involved in his family business, Dr. Sivers continues to aid the company as it experiences positive changes and growth. Upon first entering the post-graduation world of physics, Dr. Sivers was a physicist for the Argonne National Laboratory from 1976 to 1991. A contributor of articles to numerous professional and scientific journals, the highlight of Dr. Sivers career was the eponymously-named “Sivers Effect,” as honorably deemed by his peers. This effect came up with an explanation for single symmetries and scattering experiments, and the measurements that depend on the orientation of the proton spin in scattering experiments. Dr. Sivers believes he owes much of his career success to his thesis advisor who constantly motivated him, Professor Chew, as well as his mentors, Jim Gjorken and Stanley Brodksy, for their reassurance and guidance. Dr. Sivers is a member of the National Association of Industrial & Office Properties and the American Physical Society. He also serves as chairman of the board for the Portland Physics Institute. Looking ahead, Dr. Sivers aims to continue studying nuclear physics and experience the continued growth and success of his career.
