ROBERT REDWINE, Professor of Physics; Director, Bates Linear Accelerator Center
Research Interests
Professor Redwine's research is in the area of experimental medium
energy nuclear physics, especially the study of the structure of
protons, neutrons, and light nuclei. The scientific questions have
to do with investigating Quantum Chromodynamics (the theory of the
strong interaction which holds atomic nuclei together) in the regime
corresponding to most existing nuclear matter and with understanding
the transition from meson-nucleon degrees of freedom to quark-gluon
degrees of freedom. He has also carried out key experiments involving
low-energy tests of weak interactions. Professor Redwine's research
has been performed at a number of accelerators in the United States,
Canada, Switzerland, Germany, and Japan.

Biographical Sketch
Professor Redwine is a Professor
of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Director of MIT's Bates Linear Accelerator Center. Prior to that, he was MIT's Dean for Undergraduate Education. He received
his A.B. degree from Cornell University in 1969 and his Ph.D. in
Physics from Northwestern University in 1973. Following postdoctoral
positions at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico and
at the University of Berne in Switzerland, he was appointed to the
permanent scientific staff at Los Alamos in 1977. He joined the
faculty at MIT in 1979 and has remained there since, with the exception
of a sabbatical year at Rutgers University and Princeton University
in 1988-89. He served as Director of the Laboratory for Nuclear
Science at MIT from 1992 to 2000.
