Iain Stewart

Professor Stewart is a Professor of Physics in the Physics Department of MIT. He got his PhD in Theoretical Physics at Caltech in 1999, and joined the Physics faculty at MIT in 2003. Beyond creating this graduate course on Effective Field Theory, he has also taught a graduate class in Quantum Field Theory, and undergraduate classes in Advanced Classical Mechanics and Quantum Mechanics. His research specializes in designing and using Effective Field Theory to describe physics at collider experiments like the Large Hadron Collider, B-factories, fixed-target experiments, and e+e- colliders. He is a former Sloan Fellow, a Fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, and was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2013.
