William Halperin
Department of Physics

William Halperin (Ph.D. Cornell), John Evans Professor of Physics and director of the Integrated Science Program. His research is focused on low-temperature physics, NMR studies of high-temperature superconductors, and fluid transport in porous media. He was an Alfred P. Sloan Fellow, Yamada Science Foundation Fellow (1984), American Physical Society Fellow (1995) Wender-Lewis Professor of Teaching and Research (2000) and serves as editor of Progress in Low-Temperature Physics. Professor Halperin has collaborated and interacted with many physicists in France: at CRTBT in Grenoble (collaboraion that led to a series of publications), CEA in Grenoble (espcially with Jacques Flouquet), CRTBT/CNRS, Université de Paris Sud-Orsay (Henri Alloul), Ecole Polytechnique-Palaisseau (Jean-Pierre Korb), ENS (Sebastien Balibar, Roland Combescot) and Saclay (Eric Varoquaux). He has also participated in a variety of workshops on superconductivity organized by Professor Poepplemeier of Northwestern and Porfessor Raveau at the Institut des Sciences, de la Matière et du Rayonnement/CNRS in Caen. In the last 12 years he has given over 120 talks in professional meetings in France and over 50 seminars and colloquia.Halperin is spending two months this Fall quarter as Visiting professor as the Joseph Fourier University in Grenoble.
