Educational Background:

• Ph.D., UC Berkeley, 1963

Research Interest:

Prof. Cornwall's interests lie in two major fields: Quantum field theory and space plasma physics. In quantum field theory his works involve non-perturbative aspects of gauge theories in 3 and 4 dimensions, including infrared properties of QCD and the electroweak theory above its transition temperature in the early universe. He also studies many-particle scattering amplitudes in the non-perturbative regime.

In space plasma physics, Prof. Cornwall has been active in auroral and magnetospheric physics, including generation of parallel electric fields and wave-particle interactions.
