Physics Faculty Profile
Gifford Brown, PhD
Professor of Physics
Professor Gifford Brown joined the University of Evansville physics faculty in 1979 after earning a PhD in physics from Cornell University. He enjoys teaching both introductory and advanced courses. At the junior and senior levels he regularly teaches mathematical physics, advanced electromagnetics, and condensed matter physics.
Professor Brown has directed student research projects in several areas of condensed matter physics including nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation times, Debye temperature of solids, critical current densities of superconductors, and two dimensional percolation.
Professor Brown has served as president of the Indiana section of the American Association of Physics Teachers and has presented several papers at their annual spring meetings. He has been a long time advisor for the UE chapter of the Society of Physics Students and its honor society, Sigma Pi Sigma.
"UE is a great place to study physics. Our faculty is committed to providing our majors with an excellent background in physics. The high success rate of our graduates in being admitted to excellent graduate schools testifies to the strength of our program."
