Professor Chapman's research specialty is Experimental High Energy Physics. In recent years, research results in this field have led to increased confidence in the Standard Model of weak, electromagnetic, and strong interactions. Currently, the experimental challenges are split between further refinements of the parameters of the model and searches for physics not described by the model.

Michigan is a major US institution in the ATLAS Collaboration at the LHC for the preparation of major parts of the precision muon detector and for its electronics instrumentation. Dr. Chapman has assumed responsibility for the design, construction, and commissioning of the on-detector muon electronics. Michigan is also providing a key part of on-detector electronics, a fast readout multiplexer.
