Alec J. Schramm is a professor of physics at Occidental College, Los Angeles. In addition to conducting research in nuclear physics, mathematical physics, and particle phenomenology, he teaches at all levels of the undergraduate curriculum, from courses for non-majors through general relativity and relativistic quantum mechanics. After completing his Ph.D., he lectured at Duke University and was a KITP Scholar at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics at UC Santa Barbara. He is regularly nominated for awards for his physics teaching and clear exposition of complex concepts.
