Basic information about Chris H. Greene

Chris H Greene is an American theoretical physicist, Distinguished Professor of Physics at Purdue University since 2012.

1. Education He graduated from Ashland-Greenwood High School in Ashland, Nebraska in 1972. He received a Bachelor of Science Degree (with high distinction) from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1972, majoring in Physics and Mathematics. He then completed a Masters (1977) and PhD (1980) in Physics at the University of Chicago, supervised by Ugo Fano. A postdoctoral stint followed in the Chemistry Department at Stanford University, where he worked in the group of Richard Zare.

2. Academic Career Greene was on the faculty of Louisiana State University from 1981-1988. Then he joined the faculty at the University of Colorado at Boulder in 1989, as Professor of Physics and Fellow of JILA. In 2012 he was appointed to his current faculty position at Purdue University.

3. Research He has led a group in theoretical atomic, molecular, and optical physics at each of the three universities where he has been employed as a faculty member. He has supervised more than 20 PhD students and more than 20 postdoctoral research associates. His research areas of concentration include Rydberg atoms and molecules, few-body ultracold physics, the universal Efimov effect, multichannel quantum defect theory, and hyperspherical coordinate methods.

4. Awards and Honors Greene was awarded the Davisson-Germer Prize (2010) and the first I. I. Rabi Prize (1991) by the American Physical Society.
