Albion Lawrence
Associate Professor of Physics
Ph.D., University of Chicago, 1996
Albion Lawrence's research lies in the areas of quantum field theory and string theory and their applications to particle physics, cosmology and quantum gravity. He is also active in the interface between theoretical physics and mathematics (particularly algebraic geometry), and is interested in the application of quantum field theory to condensed matter physics.
