Malcolm Beasley
Malcolm Roy Beasley (born January 4, 1940 in San Francisco ) is an American physicist and professor at Stanford University .
Beasley studied at Cornell University with a bachelor's degree as a physics engineer in 1962 and a doctorate in 1967. He then went to Harvard University , where he became an assistant professor in 1969 and later an associate professor. In 1974 he became Associate Professor and 1980 Professor ( Theodore Sydney Rosenberg Professor ) at Stanford University. From 1985 to 1989 he headed the applied physics department there. From 1998 to 2001 he was dean of the School of Humanities and Sciences. In 2003 he became director of the Geballe Labs for Advanced Materials.
He is an applied physicist and is primarily concerned with superconductivity. He is part of a research initiative that systematically searches for practicable materials for high-temperature superconductors and researches quantum transport in macroscopic materials instead of predominantly in nanomaterials, for which his group developed a scanning tunneling potentiometer.
In 2014 he was President of the American Physical Society . He was a Loeb Lecturer and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Association for the Advancement of Science and a member of the National Academy of Sciences .
