Robert C. Richardson is professor of physics and director of the Laboratory of Atomic and Solid State Physics at Cornell University. Richardson joined the Cornell Department of Physics in 1966 as a research associate after earning a Ph.D. in physics from Duke University, and a B.S. and M.S. in physics, both from Virginia Tech.
His research focuses on low-temperature physics, especially the properties of liquids and solids at sub-millikelvin temperatures. Richardson was awarded the 1996 Nobel Prize in Physics with David M. Lee and Douglas D. Osheroff for their discovery of superfluidity in helium-3. Together they were also awarded the Simon Memorial Prize in Low Temperature Physics from the Institute of Physics, London, in 1976, and the Oliver E. Buckley Prize of the American Physical Society in 1981. Richardson was elected as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1981, a Guggenheim Fellow in 1982 and a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 1983. He is co-author, along with Eric N. Smith and 21 Cornell graduate students, of Experimental Techniques in Condensed Matter Physics at Low Temperatures (Addison-Wesley, 1988), and College Physics with Alan Giambattista and Betty Richardson (McGraw-Hill, 2003).
