Howard Georgi

Mallinckrodt Professor of Physics
Former Faculty Dean of Leverett House

I arrived at Harvard as a Freshman in 1964. When I graduated in 1967, Ann had two years left at Vassar so I went to graduate school at Yale (a good move I think since we have been married since 1969). In 1971, I returned to Harvard and have been here ever since as a postdoc, Junior Fellow and faculty member. I still love the mysterious tiny world of elementary particle physics as much as I did when I first read about Gell-Mann’s SU(3) in the Physics Library in 1965. But I am also deeply involved in undergraduate teaching and STEM diversity issues. I was an undergraduate in Eliot. I was Master and then Faculty Dean of Leverett House for 20 years. And I am looking forward to continuing my tour of the Harvard Houses in the Lowell House SCR.
