Members of the Ab-Initio Physics Research Group
We are located in building 6C of MIT, in the condensed matter theory division of the physics department. Our fax number is (617)253-2562.
John Joannopoulos
Our research group is headed by John D. Joannopoulos, the Francis Wright Davis Professor of Physics and Director of the Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies at MIT.
He is a principal investigator for the ab initio physics group within the Research Laboratory for Electronics.
Professor Joannopoulos can be reached in his office, room 6C-343,
at (617) 253-4806. You can find out more about him at his RLE web page. He
is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, and
is also listed as one
of the ISI's "Most Highly Cited" scientists. The ISI listing
includes his biography and publication list.
