Biography
John Morrison has received his PhD in Physics from Johns Hopkins University. After working as a Research Associate at the Argonne Laboratory, he moved to Sweden where he received a number of grants from the Swedish Research Council to build a research group in Theoretical Atomic Physics at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden. His research in Sweden led to the publication of the monograph “Atomic Many-body Theory”, which originally appear as volume 13 of the Springer series. The second edition of the book, which was published as volume 3 of the Springer Series on Atoms and Plasmas, has become a Springer classic. He has worked as a Faculty Member in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Louisville, where he continues to carry on research in Atomic and Molecular Physics. The second edition of his recent textbook, “Modern Physics for Scientists and Engineers” (Elsevier, 2015), is based on his teaching of Modern Physics and Quantum.
