Benjamin Wilson received MS degrees in physics from Yale and the University of Toronto, and holds a BS in engineering from the University of Saskatchewan. He is interested in the history of modern physics in mid-twentieth-century political and institutional contexts. He is especially curious about the growing disciplines of low temperature and solid state physics as they were practiced and organized in North America during the early Cold War.
