Amir Yacoby is a Professor of Physics and Applied Physics at Harvard University. He received his bachelor’s degree in the field of Aerospace engineering and then transitioned into Physics. Following a Master’s degree in theoretical Physics, Yacoby...
Robert Westervelt received his PhD in Physics from the University of California, Berkeley in 1977. Following a postdoctoral appointment, he moved to Harvard University, where he is currently the Mallinckrodt Professor of Applied Physics and Physics. He is...
David Weitz's group studies the physics of soft condensed matter, materials which are easily deformed by external stresses, electric, magnetic or gravitational fields, or even by thermal fluctuations. These materials typically possess structures which are...
Ashvin Vishwanath is a Theoretical Physicist specializing in the study of Condensed Matter. His research is focused on understanding how collective properties of matter such as superconductivity and magnetism arise from fundamental physical laws like...
Cumrun Vafa's primary area of research is string theory. String theory, a subject that is about four decades old, is at the center of efforts by theoretical physicists to find a unified fundamental theory of nature. String theory provides a framework to...
Christopher Stubbs is an experimental physicist working at the interface between particle physics, cosmology and gravitation. His interests include experimental tests of the foundations of gravitational physics, searches for dark matter, characterizing...
The fundamental laws of nature, as we currently understand them, are both incomplete and self-contradictory. Unsolved problems include the unification of forces and particles, the origin of the universe and the quantum structure of black holes and event...
Isaac Silvera's research is in both condensed matter and physics of cold particles. His current interests are in ultra-high pressure and low-temperature physics of quantum fluids.
Over 70 years ago Wigner and Huntington predicted that at a high pressure of...
Xiaowei Zhuang works in the areas of single-molecule biology and bioimaging, developing imaging techniques to study biological systems quantitatively. The understanding of living organisms has greatly benefited from imaging tools. In particular...
Research Interests: Radio and radar techniques: applications to astrometry, astrophysics, geophysics, planetary physics, and tests of theories of gravitation; Pre-college and college science education: curriculum development and teacher training.
