Nima Arkani-Hamed (
Early life
Arkani-Hamed's parents, Jafargholi "Jafar" Arkani-Hamed and Hamideh Alasti are both physicists from Iran.[7] His father, a native of Tabriz,[8] had worked for the Apollo program in the early 1970s,[9] was chairman of the physics department at Sharif University of Technology in Tehran, and later taught earth and planetary sciences at McGill University in Montreal.[10] Arkani-Hamed was born in Houston and spent the early years of his life between Iran and the United States.[11] He would accompany his father on hikes in Tehran almost every weekend.[11]
Following the
Academic career
Arkani-Hamed graduated from the
In 1999 he joined the faculty of the University of California, Berkeley physics department. He took a leave of absence from Berkeley to visit Harvard University beginning January 2001, and stayed at Harvard as a professor from 2002 to 2008.[12] Since 2008, he has been a professor in the School of Natural Sciences at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.[13]
Since 2013, Arkani-Hamed has been a leader in research on the
In 2021 he became the first Carl P. Feinberg Director of the Cross-Disciplinary Program in Innovation at the Institute for Advanced Study.[14]
