The California Institute of Technology (branded as Caltech) [a] is a private research university in Pasadena, California, United States.The university is responsible for many modern scientific advancements and is among a small group of institutes of technology in the United States that are devoted to the instruction of pure and applied sciences.
Libbrecht received a B.S. in physics at Caltech in 1980. He was originally trained as a solar astronomer, studying under Robert Dicke at Princeton University and received his Ph.D. in 1984. [2] However, much of his recent research has focused on the properties of ice crystals, particularly the structure of snowflakes. In addition to his ...
Steven C. Frautschi (/ ˈ f r aʊ tʃ i /; born December 6, 1933) is an American theoretical physicist, currently professor of physics emeritus at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). He is known principally for his contributions to the bootstrap theory of the strong interactions and for his contribution to the resolution of the ...

In 1964, Mathews and his Caltech contemporary, Dr. Robert Walker, co-authored and published Mathematical Methods of Physics, [8] which received positive reviews [9] [10] [11] and remains a widely used college textbook in 2014. [12] During his years at Caltech, Mathews authored a number of scientific papers. [13] [14] Deepak Dhar was his Ph.D ...
Kathryn M. Zurek is an American physicist and professor of theoretical physics at the California Institute of Technology. Her research interests primarily lie at the intersection of particle physics with cosmology and particle astrophysics. [1] She is known for her theories on dark matter's "hidden valleys", also known as hidden sectors. [2] [3]
