Paul Joseph Steinhardt (born December 25, 1952) is an American theoretical physicist whose principal research is in cosmology and condensed matter physics. He is currently the Albert Einstein Professor in Science at Princeton University, where he is on the faculty of both the Departments of Physics and of Astrophysical Sciences. [3]
This branch of physics focuses on understanding and studying the physical properties and transitions between phases of matter. Condensed matter refers to materials where particles (atoms, molecules, or ions) are closely packed together or under interaction, such as solids and liquids.
He graduated from Stanford University (bachelor's degree in physics and master's degree in mathematics in 2001) and received his PhD from Stanford University under Shoucheng Zhang. As a postdoctoral fellow he came to the Center for Theoretical Physics at Princeton University, where he was appointed Assistant Professor in 2009 and Associate ...
In 1996, he was appointed a professor in the physics department of Princeton University. [3] At the Institute for Advanced Study , he has been appointed to positions for the autumn of 2010, and for the academic years 2015–2016, 2019–2020, and 2021–2022.
Salvatore Torquato is an American theoretical scientist born in Falerna, Italy.His research work has impacted a variety of fields, including physics, [6] chemistry, [7] applied and pure mathematics, [8] materials science, [9] engineering, [10] and biological physics.
Robert Joseph Cava (born 1951) [4] is a solid-state chemist at Princeton University where he holds the title Russell Wellman Moore Professor of Chemistry. [5] Previously, Professor Cava worked as a staff scientist at Bell labs from 1979–1996, where earned the title of Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff.
In 2015, he was named the Class of 1909 Professor of Physics at Princeton and the Director of the Princeton Center for Complex Materials (PCCM), a material research science and technology center supported by the National Science Foundation. In 2024, he stepped down as PCCM director, became the co-director of Princeton Quantum Initiative and was ...
After graduating from Cornell, O'Neill accepted a position as an instructor at Princeton University. [7] There he started his research into high-energy particle physics.In 1956, his second year of teaching, he published a two-page article that theorized that the particles produced by a particle accelerator could be stored for a few seconds in a storage ring.
