Lincoln Carr

Lincoln Carr received his B.A. from the University of California, Berkeley and his M.S. and Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Washington, Seattle. He did postdoctoral research at the Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris and JILA in Colorado before becoming a professor in the Quantum Engineering Program and the Physics Department at the Colorado School of Mines, and a Graduate Faculty Advisor in the Applied Mathematics and Statistics Department. His research brings together complexity theory, quantum information science and engineering, education, condensed-matter physics, atomic, molecular, and optical physics, nonlinear dynamics, computational physics, and applied mathematics, pushing the frontiers of complexity theory in the quantum world. To date he has mentored over 130 students in research and collaborated with over 200 scientists in 15 countries. He has taught for over 30 years in science and engineering, social sciences, and the humanities on topics ranging from quantum physics and engineering to revolutions in science, literature, and society to science and engineering diplomacy.
