Bio:

Tobin R. Sosnick was born in 1961 in Woodland, CA. He received his B.A. degree in Physics from The University of California, San Diego, and his Ph.D. degree in Applied Physics studying momentum distributions in superfluid helium in 1989 from Harvard University working under the supervision of Paul Sokol. He was a postdoctoral research fellow with Jill Trewhella and Cliff Unkefer at Los Alamos National Lab (1988-92) and with S. Walter Englander at The University of Pennsylvania (1992-5). After a year as a research assistant professor at UPENN he joined the faculty at the University of Chicago in 1996.
