Professor Guralnik's research is in the area of Elementary-Particle Theory (quantum theory of fields, numerical quantum field theory and computational algorithms). Professor Guralnik came to Brown from the University of Rochester, where he had been a postdoctoral research associate. He also carried on research at Imperial College, London, under an National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship after receiving his Ph.D. from Harvard. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and was an Alfred P. Sloan Research Foundation Fellow.

Biography

Professor Guralnik received his PH.D. in Physics from Harvard University. He has carried out research at many institutions in Europe and the United States. His primary interest is in elementary particle theory.

Research Description

Gerald Guralnik, a professor of Physics, does research in high energy theoretical physics. His work focuses on the fundamental structure of quantum field theory, general relativity and computational methods applicable to the solutions of field theoretic problems

He also is a member of the "Ersatz Brain Project" which has the ultimate goal of designing a "brain like" computer.
