Jeevak Parpia
Jeevak Mahmud Parpia (born July 22, 1952 in Bombay , India ) is an American physicist .
Parpia graduated from Illinois Institute of Technology with a bachelor's degree in 1973 and Cornell University with a master's degree in 1977 and a doctorate in physics in 1979. He became an assistant professor in 1979 and later an associate professor at Texas A&M University and in 1994 professor at the Cornell University.
In 2017 he and William Halperin and James Sauls from Northwestern University received the Fritz London Memorial Prize for the investigation of disorder in superfluid helium-3 and the insights into its complex symmetry breaking behavior.
He also deals with nanomechanics ( resonators ) and graphene resonators. Parpia also uses micromechanical devices to examine superfluids such as helium 3 in restricted geometries, for example quasi-two-dimensional geometries between two plates, resonators and helium 3 in aerogels . He also examines the elastic properties of glasses (such as silicon nitride ) at low temperatures, their dielectric properties and thermal conductivity.
1981 to 1985 he was a Sloan Research Fellow .
