Spotlight... Miles Blencowe is a theoretical physicist specializing in condensed matter and quantum physics. His research largely centers on the fundamental problem concerning how the macroscopic classical world of everyday experience emerges from the counterintuitive microscopic quantum world. He has published over fifty papers on such topics as superconducting circuit analogues of black holes, quantum limited displacement detectors, and quantum energy flow in mesoscopic, suspended structures. He received PhD in physics from Imperial College in 1989 and held postdocs at the Universities of Cambridge and Chicago. He has been on the faculty of Dartmouth College since 1999. |
Welcome to the Department of Physics & Astronomy! From the Chairman,
We in Physics and Astronomy are committed to the goal of combining the excitement of a research university with the sense of community
one finds at a small college. By focusing on a few core areas - astronomy and cosmology, quantum and condensed matter physics, plasma
and space physics - we provide a selection of independent research opportunities as well as an array of specialized courses and
research seminars in addition to the core courses. We place a high priority on teaching and mentorship at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
Whether you wish to pursue a career in Physics/Astronomy, or study it enroute to a career elsewhere, we think you will find a
welcoming environment here.
