Prof. Brown earned his Ph.D. in 1974 from Cornell University where he specialized in experimental condensed matter physics. His research was a pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance study of the metal-insulator transition in silicon doped with either phosphorus or boron. Brown has directed several senior projects in condensed matter physics, including NMR relaxation times, Debye temperature of solids, and critical current densities of superconducting materials. He has also directed a computer simulation senior project studying critical exponents in two dimensional percolation. In addition to teaching the full range of introductory physics courses, Brown regularly teaches Mathematical Physics, Advanced Electromagnetics, and Condensed Matter Physics.
