Alex Rimberg

Professor Alex Rimberg is a distinguished faculty member in the field of physics and astronomy at Dartmouth College. With a robust academic background, he earned his A.B. and Ph.D. in Physics from Harvard University in 1986 and 1992, respectively. His academic journey led him to Rice University, where he served as an assistant professor before joining Dartmouth in 2004. At Dartmouth, Professor Rimberg's research is at the forefront of exploring the intriguing transition from quantum to classical behavior in nanoscale systems. His work primarily focuses on Josephson junction systems, nanomechanical resonators, nanotechnology, and quantum dots. These areas are pivotal in understanding the fundamental principles that govern the behavior of matter at the smallest scales. Professor Rimberg's contributions to the field are not only theoretical but also experimental, as he seeks to bridge the gap between quantum mechanics and classical physics. His research has significant implications for the development of new technologies and the advancement of our understanding of the universe at the quantum level. In addition to his research, Professor Rimberg is dedicated to teaching and mentoring the next generation of physicists and astronomers. His passion for education and research excellence makes him a valuable asset to the Dartmouth College community.
